Will gnus (sgnus) filter duplicates by default?

I could do this via procmail but it appears as though Gnus is using

"totally-fudged-out-message-id" and so I lose the original message-id.

Actually can somebody tell me exactly when GNUS decides to insert it's
own message-id?

FYI: I'm writing to a spool file articles from a news scanner in
RFC822 mailbox format and I don't expect for gnus to be totally
trashing any existing message-id's just because this is a folder.

Also, it appears as though I have tones of duplicates but they have
different message-id's. That can probably be explained by the fact
that sometimes I run my scanner more than once in the same article
range but if I can preserve the original message-id I can filter out
the duplicates with formail.

The default is to add warnings to duplicates.

It does it when it discovers a duplicate message.  It also does this
when the message doesn't have a Message-ID.

Look in the GNUS manual in the node Duplicates (`g Duplicates RET').
It describes how to filter out duplicate messages.
