I beg to differ,  I am subscribed to both the expert and newbie list and use
Nutscrape to sort my mail with each list going to it's own folder and as of this
morning I am STILL getting dupes from as far back as Saturday but only on the
newbie list.  I believe I've seen some of the same mail at least 6 times.

For what it's worth to anyone trying to figure this out (hint, hint) they seem to
go back to about 10:41 AM on Saturday.  Hope it helps.

Guess I'll have to write that "delete_stupid_/_duplicate_e-mail" script. 8-)
