I know this might not help your situation, but KMail has a command to remove duplicates from folders. I've used it occassionally, but it's definitely come in handy at those times. I am not sure about T-Bird. In any case, it can be done, but maybe not as easily in other clients. I'm sure it would be possible to write a small script which could do this to the file itself, if you wanted to keep your existing mail software (although, not sure what format T-Bird uses, but IIRC mbox is available). - jt _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
