The first rule in my .procmailrc does this with
formail:
That works well for many. But it does not work at all for me.
There are many additional factors that I have to consider:
- I use different email addresses for different things.
- Replies come to one email address.
- Emails from the mailing list come to a different address.
- Replies are direct and arrive sooner.
- Emails from the mailing list are indirect and arrive later.
This means that the emails I get from the mailing list are to different
addresses than message that were CCed directly to me.
- I want the copy from the mailing list.
- I want to not arbitrarily toss the direct reply in case the message
never arrives from the mailing list.
Doesn't move duplicates to the trash, it just
prevents multiple copies
of the same message-id from being delivered at all. The 8192 specfies
how large of a cache (stored in ~/.msgid.cache) of message-ids to keep
track of.
In light of the above facts, I can't simply reject subsequent copies of
Message-IDs as that does not accomplish the aforementioned desires.
I also want to move the existing message to the Trash folder instead of
blindly removing it so that I have the option of going to Trash and
recovering it via my MUA if I feel the need or desire to do so.
What I do is quite likely extremely atypical. But it does what I want.
I have my own esoteric reasons (some are better than others) for doing
what I do. I'm happy to share if anyone is interested.
