Ah, but that is one of Eudora's really big shortcomings
(which I unfortunately only found out about *after* I had
moved to The Bat; had I known before, I would have migrated
much earlier): until version 4.x, Eudora didn't create
message-IDs for outgoing mail. Which in turn means that
there is nothing for TB to check when you order it to kill
dupes, because TB looks at message-IDs.
