Re: [Evolution] Duplicate Messages

This type of thing has been discussed, but there's no "safe" way of doing
this.

You can't depend on the fact that a message-id is unique, and because of
that your rule may delete mails that you didn't actually want to delete. We
thought about using MD5 checksums, but that isn't a good solution either
since mailing lists add their own headers, that will change the md5
checksum.
