Re: [Evolution] Remove duplicates (one more try)

[Redeeman <redeeman metanurb dk>]

i like the thing sylpheed-claws has with removing duplicates when you
get 2 copy's one from mailinglist and one direct, as i am member on
quite a few mailinglists, and i spend dozens of time remove duplicates
that comes in my main inbox folder :) but still it isnt enough for me to
use sylpheed, evolution still is best :)
if you find a way to work around this in evolution, let me hear!
