Subject: Removing the original of a duplicated message
Date: 01 May 1996 10:00:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m24tq08h28.fsf@deanna.miranova.com> (raw)

Cc: linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu, linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu
Message-ID: <m2ohody2ks.fsf@totally-fudged-out-message-id>
Original-Message-Id: <199604251540.QAA03609@snowcrash.cymru.net>
Gnus-Warning: This is a duplicate of message <199604251540.QAA03609@snowcrash.cymru.net>

Is there any automatic method after eliminating an original message,
to modify the headers of a duplicate message to what they originally
were?  Restated: when Gnus receives a duplicate message (as from a
crossposted message to two or more mailing lists, and you receive
both) I'd like to be able to eliminate what Gnus thinks is the
original message and keep only the duplicate, but have the duplicate
take back its original headers.

In the example headers given, that would mean erasing the bogus
Message-ID: field and restoring it from the Original-Message-Id:,
removing the Gnus-Warning: header, and updating the nnml .overview.

Gnus' handling of duplicated messages has bothered me for a long time
as more often than not the default behavior is inconvenient for me.
