I'm losing mail (remix)

[Steve Youngs]

Sorry folks, seems I fell off the list, which is why I'm responding to
this thread in such an annoying way.

In followups to my original article "I'm losing mail":

No.  I do have `nnmail-treat-duplicates' set to 'delete, but setting
it to 'warn didn't help.

Nope.

No, they are not making it into the mail group.

Yes I do, but see above.

Hehehe, nope.  I have

("references"
 ("<microsoft-free\\.87[0-9a-z]+\\.fsf\\(_-_\\)?@eicq\\.dnsalias\\.org>" 1000 nil r))

in all.SCORE

Yeah, it's not. :-(

Here's another piece of the puzzle: The message-id's from my followups
are making it into ~/.nnmail-cache, but the articles are not making it
into the mail groups anywhere.

Hmm, I wonder if this is a caching problem?  I'll turn it off, test,
and see what happens.
