I posted this quick and dirty hack in the conduit-forum group.
I wrote a 5-line perl script which will sort out your mbox-style
folders and remove duplicate messages based on Msg-ID. Worked like
a champ here on my box (linux). Script is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl
undef $/;
my @para = split /(\n\n+)/, <>;
while (defined ($_ = shift @para))
{
die "No From line!\n" unless /^From /;
my ($id) = map /^Message-ID:\s(\S.*)/im, split /\n(?! )/;
warn "No Message-ID! [[$_]]\n" unless defined $id;
$_ .= shift @para while @para and $para[0] !~ /^From /;
print unless defined $id and $seen{$id}++;
}
Syntax is:
script.pl old_mbox_with_dupes > new_mbox_without_dupes
Hope that helps.
