With all due respect, I don't believe that the "problem" of duplicate
messages is so drastic that it needs a draconian "solution" at the
server level. We're talking about an extra email message here, not a
napalm strike. How about just leaving it alone and letting people
adjust their email clients if they'd like to do so?
Cheers,
