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. > Or skip your sent-mail folder altogether. 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 ;) --=20 Rob 'Feztaa' Park http://members.shaw.ca/feztaa/ -- Space tells matter how to move and matter tells space how to curve. -- Wheeler --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9YrUvPTh2iSBKeccRAhZHAJ95hgdHC3Qyj7xWhB3coMRm5V6xMgCeIDLO rPkgQV1jjnKI+dFdsGJeY5o= =d/t0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY--
