Oh yeah. Sup collapses dupes. That would do it.

That's another interesting lesson I've learned about email in the
process of writing Sup. Two messages with the same message id are more
likely than not to NOT be exactly the same message. For example, any
time you get a message both cc'ed and through a mailing list, they'll
have the same message id, but the mailing list one will probably have
extra content (ML signatures and taglines) and different headers.
