Many a time I had to us th kill dupes for hundreds of messages (
not mailing list ones) and I noticed that at times, it did mess
up. It deleted messages with differeeent From and Subject headers
.I wondered how can those have the same ID. So I'm just paranoid
using it again now wanting to lose some important message due to
this and think I should do it manually but it takes too long,
checking every message.
The need for kill dupes arises because I use IMAP and there's
nothing in TB that would sync all the messages back and forth. May
be I should use POP with it till ver 2.0 comes out...
