Q: How long has there been duplicates on the Openmoko mailing lists?
A: Since the list got so big that sita.openmoko.org can't handle it.

Q: How long has that been?
A: At least a year, maybe more.

Q: Has Openmoko done anything about it?
A: Doesn't seem so.  Must be a hard problem.

Q: Is Openmoko likely to fix it?
A: If they haven't fixed it by now, then chances are they probably won't.

Q: What should I do about it?
A: Don't email the list about - we all know already.

Q: How can I fix it locally for me?
A: Get a mail reader that understands that a message with a duplicate
   Message-Id header field doesn't need to be displayed to the user.

Can we stop now?
