All very nice, but it dodges the major reason for people disliking duplicate
copies of messages: they pay for their PPP link (or UUCP feed, or whatever).
Identifying duplicates by their message IDs means that you have to download
both messages, unless you can do the filtering at your ISP's end of the link.
I'm not overly concerned personally at the moment - I'm at university, and
the government pays for my feed :-) - but it's generally not good etiquette
full stop.
