Though I'm not using procmail too heavily lately, I suppress dups by
using formail in my .qmail-lists-default file:
|{ formail -D 65536 .msgid.cache && exit 99 } || exit 0
Bogus reply-to behaviors don't trouble me, because I subscribe under
the address "budney-lists-qmail", and personal replies (without human
intervention) are not distinguished from list traffic, where dups are
killed.
Sadly, I think I'm one of the bogus-MUA users. I use Mew under emacs,
and can only find one "reply" function, which seems to work as "reply
to all". Does anyone know Mew, and know whether I've missed something?
