Irregulars Question on Eudora

[Ronn!Blankenship]

If you have noticed that I have been unusually quiet this week and wondered 
what was responsible for your good fortune, I'm sorry to have to tell you 
that I'm apparently back.  Near as I can figure out, something in a spam 
message did not agree with Eudora and it crashed.  Getting the latest 
version and upgrading did not make the problem go away, rather, I had to 
install the new version in a new directory and then rebuild all of my 
mailboxes (generally, one or more for each list I'm on, each person or 
entity from which I regularly get mail, etc., and then some).  It seems 
like things are working now (knock wood), so here's my question:  whenever 
Eudora crashes, or the connection with the mail server is lost, while 
messages are being downloaded, frequently the next time it starts all over, 
resulting in two identical copies of each message (more if, as has been the 
case this week, it crashes more than once while trying to download the same 
group of messages).  Does anyone know of a quick way to eliminate the 
duplicate messages?  With several hundred unique messages after a couple of 
days, and more arriving from you loquacious people all the time, going 
through and deleting them one at a time is not very practical, even though 
obviously two copies of a message take up twice the disk space of one copy, 
and three, four, . . . is even worse.  Any suggestions?
