AFAIK, there is no "message ID" for e-mail as is for newsgroups
messages. I mean, there's no inbuilt way to identify two messages as
being actually the same. I suppose it's theoretically possible to create
an add-on that would fingerprint messages in some way -- MD5 of the
message body, thinks like that -- and find the duplicates. But I'm
unaware of any add-on like that.
