This is the very first rule in my procmailrc
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/transmeta/procmail/bin
MAILDIR=/home/jauderho/mail
LOGFILE=/home/jauderho/mail/log/`date +%m%d%y`.log
DEFAULT=INBOX
:0 Wh: misc/msgid.lock
| formail -D 32768 misc/msgid.cache
formail sets up a 32k cache of msgids that I previously recieved. If the msgid
is the same, it gets discarded. For instance, I recieved 94 duplicate messages
yesterday, crossposted or otherwise.
marvin%jauderho% mailstat -k -l -m ~/mail/log/021398.log

I hope this clears up any confusion and we can get back to discussing
interesting KERNEL stuff.

P.S. No more bloody posts about GTK! I like GTK but this is NOT a list for
discussing that. Please take it offline or set up a seperate list.
