Hello Chris,

On Tue, 21 May 2002 23:28:33 -0500GMT (22-5-02, 6:28 +0200GMT, where I
live), you wrote:

Message_ID

6% is a bit high, but there could be perfectly good reasons like an
imperfect internet connections or a sloppy mailserver at your ISP's.

CM> Once messages are "killed" by removing dupes, where do they go

They're marked as deleted, that means they'll purged from the
messagebase the next time you compress the respective folders (either
automatically or manually).
If you haven't compressed yet you can check them by selecting the
folder and choose from the menu:  folder - browse deleted messages

That fear's only justified when you have contact that uses a broken
mua, ie one that issues the same msgid over and over. Now we're
discussing this. Recently somebody on TBOT was testing providers of
DEA's (disposable e-mail addresses) one of those swapped the
message-id with a constant string, so that all messages had a
identical message-id.

Might this latter be the case, you'll have to convince him/them to
change services.
