Hi, Mark!
I had EXACTLY the same problem, ended up with tons of duplicated mails. I
solved the problem by running inc from nmh in Xterm window (not from exmh).
It put everything in my inbox without filtering :(. After that everyting
worked fine. Still don't know what it was. I suspect some corrupted mail.

Hi,
My mail is behaving strangely. I would incorporate my mail in exmh, and
then do it again and the same messages would be incorporated a second
time. I had a look at /var/spool/mail/mark and discovered that it
wasn't being emptied when incorporated. Indeed, this is what the
directory looked like:
# ls -laF /var/spool/mail/
-rw-r--r-- 1 mark 1000 294367 Dec 17 10:39 mark
-rw--- 1 mark mail0 Dec 17 10:58 mark.lock
-rw-rw 1 paul mail 1799 May 4 1997 paul
Now what is that mark.lock file all about? I deleted the lock file, tried
incorporating again and same thing happened - and the lock file reappeared.
Also, the group and file permissions seem strange. I decided to delete
the mark and mark.lock files and that seems to have solved the problem,
but I would like to know how the problem ever arose!
What was going on, and how did it get that way?
Cheers,
Mark.
