I'm not sure procmail will be able to filter out such "almost dupes",

The "formail -D" trick works because it uses the Message-ID, which is added
(usually) by the originating mail program. I did a quick test: I created two test email
lists, each with the two same subscribers. I sent an email to both lists (CCed). The user
with the formail -D config received only one copy of the mailings, and the user with no
procmail received both mailings.
Is there any case when mailing list or MTA software will change the Message-ID
of an email?
Not sure on this. Need to reread RFCs to tell more.
In any case - as it works for you, it should work for anybody else using
the same setup. The only trouble for this method I see then is the
relatively difficult deployment and administration (i.e. we are adding
another point for possible failures, and it will be harder for us to
check up why the hell user complaints about the loss of important
message ;-D).
