Duplicate suppression is not a very subtle instrument. It's
more like a sledge hammer than anything else. It works in a
very simple fashion--if you have marked an article as read, it
adds this Message-ID to a cache. The next time it sees this
Message-ID, it will mark the article as read with the `M'
mark. It doesn't care what group it saw the article in.

I wouldn't recommend trying to use Gnus split methods without
using Gnus as your MUA or newsreader. Running an instance of
Emacs just to sort your mail is not the best use of system
resources ;-) Also, from what I can gather, Gnus suppresses
duplicates when you enter a group, not during mail splitting.
Having said that, if you do use Gnus to read mail or news, you
simply have to frob a variable or two, and you'll never see a
duplicate again...
