Sorry, I have a hard time keeping track of who likes cc and who doesn't.

Personally, I actually like the cc's on lists that are sometimes slow, but
I don't want duplicates.  Luckily there's procmail.  I'm sure you know
this:

    :0 Wh: msgid.lock
    | /usr/bin/formail -D 8192 $HOME/msgid.cache

I'm sorry.  I don't follow.  Can you give an example?

And if 0.9.3-3 shows up it will replace my version of 0.9.3-2+local.1?

I think I want a way that I see if apt-get dist-upgrade is going to
replace my 0.9.3-2+local.1 package.

Thanks very much for the help,
