Ah-ha, okay. I clearly misunderstood its purpose. No worries, I see now that when we retrieve t.mbox.gz, the mailbox contains both the iommu and the vger sources, which should allow me to pick the preferred version based on the criteria I need (e.g. DKIM validation). > I'm planning on having a "diff view" to more easily distinguish > between different messages having the same Message-ID.

Indeed, I agree that it's best to give access to both instead of always returning the boosted-list version, as this would allow someone for malicious message-id stuffing. Now I just need to hack b4 to define a better criteria for when results have multiple identical message-id's. Thanks, -K
