I do, though. For every message id, I keep track of how many times the
script encountered it. I also have 'total' and 'unique' counts for every
person, mbox, date, and MUA. The problem is that the 'total' count of
all of my messages is nearly 1,000 greater than the 'unique' count,
which really bothers me (it looks ugly in the statistics, not to mention
that the duplication is a waste of disk space).

Maybe I'm crazy, but it just seems silly and inefficient to keep copies
of my ml messages in two places.

I wanted to avoid this for portability; if I just skip my own sent mail
folder, then I'm limiting the script to my own machine. I want it to
work for other people as well ;)
