I want to filter out all of the duplicate messages from my mailbox. That is,
if two or more messages have the same Message-Id, I want to delete all but
one of them. How can I do this?
One approach might be to use the pipe command to send all of the mail text
to a unix script that searches for duplicates. Is there a way for this script
to communicate the list of duplicates back to a mush pipeline? E.g.,
something like this:
pick * | pipe myfilter | delete
I couldn't find anything in the man pages about getting a message list
*out* of the pipe command.
Thanks.
-Joe
