Hi Bob,
MHonArc checks the Message-ID header to make sure that duplicate
messages aren't added to the archives multiple times. Is it possible
that the mbox file has duplicates?
A quick check might be to do something like
grep -i ^Message-ID: mbox | awk -F\< '{print $2}' | awk -F\> '{print $1}' | sort
| uniq -c | sort -n
or
formail -s formail -XMessage-ID < mbox | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
and see if you get any with a value greater than 1 -- those would be
duplicates.
Chris
