Unfortunately, the procmailex man page doesn't mention that procmail may fail for reasons other than "... their own scripting capabilities". If you change duplicates to /dev/null in the recipe above and procmail dies right after this recipe, for whatever reasons, you face irrevocable mail loss.

Mutt can't IIRC check for anything other than the from address / date >/ subject (whatever's displayed in the index view). ah, great thanks. i did not realize i could do that. i hereby revoke my original question :) as it makes a lot more sense to do this in procmail then in mutt (or awk for that matter :) ) thanks, denis -- // mailto: Denis Perelyubskiy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> // icq : 12359698 // PGP : http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~denisp/files/pgp.asc

This recipe, shamelessly stolen from Tom Gilbert's website should do it: :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 16384 msgid.cache :0 a: duplicates You can change 'duplicates' to '/dev/null' if you trust the recipe works.

deleting messages with same message id's?
hello, is there a way to delete all the messages with the same message id upon entering a folder? should i even be doing this with mutt? (i am sure i could write an awk script to do this, but perhaps its easier to do with mutt?) thanks, denis -- // mailto: Denis Perelyubskiy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> // icq : 12359698 // PGP : http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~denisp/files/pgp.asc
