Do you know some other tool to find and remove duplicates from a mail folder, where I can tell it to ignore some header?
I found this:
https://serverfault.com/questions/255665/remove-duplicate-messages-from-mail...
The easier seems to be this answer:
Gnome's Evolution [a graphical mail user agent] has a built-in feature to remove duplicate mail. As explained on this help page, it boils down to:
Select the suspect messages (or just all messages) Go to menu Messages, the choose Remove Duplicate Messages.
Voilà.
P.S. Evolution can access your messages locally (MailDir, MH, Mbox) or over IMAP.
But I have to check if deletes immediately or asks, or moves to trash.
Deletes without asking.
mutt has a feature to tag duplicates and a feature to delete tagged mails.
Huh. I find mutt too hard to use. Alpine I use a lot, but it doesn't have this feature. It seems I have to go for the delete header path. But now I have to take the road. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
