Quoted from Robin S. Socha:

Hmpf, I'll bear that in mind. I'm a very ``learn-by-example'' type,
and most people I know took the simple way out:

the most vocal on-list. :-))

Does it intelligently remove excessive quoting? ;-) (There was one time
when someone posted a message with a 2800% quoted-to-original ratio...)

I used to do the DJB thing and bounce duplicates. Then I realised that
it happened so often, that I'd rather save the bandwidth on my server.
It now just discards duplicates.

Yes, Maildir rocks. I even wrote a one-line script that will tell me
how many new messages there are in each Maildir folder.
[snip of some very nice features of Gnus, 2 (out of 3) of which mutt
doesn't seem to implement]
Now, there's something mutt implements that Gnus (the one included
with GNU emacs 20.7) doesn't: Mail-Followup-To and Mail-Reply-To.
Mail-Followup-To is used to discourage duplicate copies, obviously.
Mail-Reply-To is used to give people a ``real'' address to reply to,
for dumb mailing lists that require subscription before posting.

If only I can LART them over the wire... after all, the lusers aren't
invading my home, they're invading my Maildir.
