Is there any way I can delete exact duplicates in the mail database? I looked for script solutions and found only Wayne Brissettes site working and no such script there. Aren't there more repositories? I guess I could adapt a script for another platform, but I'd rather not.

Bounce back?

Is there a way to bounce an email back to the sender? I know there are many tricks in PM that I have not yet discovered. This is one feature that I like in OS X mail. It's not enough to catch spam, I like to bounce it back to the sender so that they think my email address doesn't exist. Fred
