It's a last resort because I'd like to learn a better way, but I've got no personal or valued emails that are at risk of being lost. So what do you think? Time to resort to brute force tactics? Isaac Isaac, I just had a thought. I was thinking about how the program uses the header information on the email so as to know how and where to thread a message. It could be that if messages in other directories are being threaded correctly that there is something amiss with the headers in the message file for Inbox. email comes in as a plain text file and is appended to the Inbox text file that the email program presents as a folder with messages inside it. Each message is seperated by a From header that signifies the beginning of the each message. That is the first place I would begin to look for the answer to this mystery. I used to use Sylpheed and every now and then if the program didn't close properly some corruption would happen to the mail folders, which in reality are really text files containing email message that have been received. I discovered that the From header usually on the very first message of the Inbox file would get truncated and instead of reading From [EMAIL PROTECTED] the F would get be dropped and Sylpheed would be unable to read the file, present the message and would subsequently die with an error. Until I discovered what was causing the problem it was a real mystery and the only reason I did discover what was responsible for causing the error was because at the time there were a few other files at the time that were experiencing file corruption. To this day I still don't know what was originally responsible for causing this corruption. I can only assume that the file wasn't being written to disk properly on program close, or by the MTA as new messages were coming in to the server. I rather suspect the latter because the problem was mainly with the file that resides in /var/spool/mail/$USER. -- daRmaTTeR Reg.

Ken, Thank you very much. That little recipe got slammed into the .procmailrc file REAL quick.

A few but not too many, maybe 4-5/day. If they are identical messages with the same message id and you are using procmail, you can weed them out by adding the following as the first recipe in your .procmailrc :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache This will create a message id cache file in your mail directory that is checked against before any mail is delivered to your inbox(es). Since all emails have a unique message id unless they are true duplicates or carbon copies then they will only make it through if the message id is not already in the cache file. If the message id matches one found in the cache then the message is discarded. I've been using it for the past couple of weeks and it works well, especially at removing list replies that are cc'd to the original author. The full documentation for the above is listed in man procmailex. HTH
