True enough - but if one is filtering duplicates based on message IDs, it
won't work for sent mail (i.e. the local copies of mail you sent yourself),
as those don't have any message ID. Using formail to generate one will fail,
as formail will generate unique ones, regardless of the actual content of
the mail. Hence, if one is to clean up existing folders with sent mail, sh
or perl might indeed be called for.
Cheerio,
