What's this ?

  Some hacks on widely used mail programs which let you suppress
  duplicate copies of messages with exactly the same content.

Why ?

  This is a characteristic of lots of Bad Things, e.g. sp*m,
  pathologically broken mail systems/gateways, and malconfigured
  mail systems.

Does it work ?

  Seems to - but you'd have to be crazy to run it on a production
  system!  Needs some alpha testers, hence this message :-)
