It seems to me that the best idea is to have each mailing list keep
a list of message id's that have been sent to the list, and avoid
resending a message with a duplicate id.  (Preferably complaining
to the list maintainer.)  This of course does not work if something
deletes/changes the message id, so should be backed up with another
form of loop control.

(P.S: I just added mailing lists to our local prime mailer--
currently without any form of loop control.  I should probably be
planning for the future, especially since we do have a (flaky)
link to the outside world...)
