Thanks Roberto, it doesn't really bother me 'cos read by thread in mutt makes it's pretty trivial to delete duplicates as I zap through the posts from various debian lists. I really must get the appropriate line in my muttrc to de-dupe automatically; I read the man page but haven't stumped up the courage to try it in case I lose something important. Perhaps a test account might be prudent :) Incidentally Dov, I suggested su to root earlier; now you're beginning to get into all this, you'd be wise to use sudo. # aptitude install sudo then once installed do $ man sudo It may save you doing something bad inadvertantly as root.
