you can do the exact same thing with a simple procmail recipe. it can
be argued (and as the gnus manual points out) that this might be
unreliable. i use it anyway since i get loads of dupes. you can save
them to a separate folder rather than deleting them outright if you're
paranoid.
the basic syntax is this (from the procmailex (5) man page:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
or to save in the mbox folder 'duplicates':
:0 Whc: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
:0 a:
duplicates
use at your own risk. i imagine you could easily use procmail to do
something similar to what gnus does as well (ie marking it as read)...
or you could just copy to a separate folder and go through that once in
a while.
