Deleting Duplicates
I have an mbox file with 3633 messages. Every single message has a
duplicate. I understand that I can easily delete duplicates with the
tag ~=. The problem that I have is that this only works with messages
with a unique message ID. Sadly, none of these messages has a unique
message ID, so this will not work.
Is there some other way of deleting the duplicate messages? Is there
some way of tagging every other message or every odd numbered
message? There must be some way to select every other message and
delete it.
Date filters won't work since each set of messages has a different
date. Neither will subject or From filters for the same reason. I
have also looked at grepmail which has the -u option for filtering out
only unique messages, but that works on Message-ID too!
I know I'm missing something...please help!
