What's aggravating is that the dupes only come two at a time now and only
using outlook on a w2k system on RR. In a bout 4 hours I had 150 messages.

ARGH! I hate it when I do this! If you want the dupe emails in a folder,
use the following instead of what I said above:
:0 Whc: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
:0 a:
duplicates
(The difference is the "c" flag in the first recipe.)
