Thanks! Thanks to others for their suggestions, now working with delIMAPdups since I have mails (not many, but a few) which have identical content and are only different in their Content-Type header lines. One copy will have the declaration on one line, the other has its declarations folded across multiple lines for each parameter. Any idea why *that* might be? Cheers, Sabahattin
