Thanks. I guess that will work with the new mail that would
arrive. What about my current mail?

What was the former value of `nnmail-treat-duplicates' ?  Default
value is 'warn and it inserts an extra-header in your mail.

Go in your group, select duplicates with / x [the extra header] and
delete them manually.

PS : i cannot remember what the extra header is, should be something
with X-.*duplicate or X-.*Gnus.

Nice to know this. If of any use, you can try opening your
mailbox/folder with (heresy! :-) Mutt and delete duplicates with
D~=<ENTER> (<ENTER> is RET) and then $ to sync back.

I don't know if that causes any problem with Gnus (not so far in my
case, but then I use nnimap), but I would at least close the mailbox in
Gnus before opening it with Mutt.

for the record, you should've added that header to this variable:

,----[ C-h v gnus-extra-headers RET ]
| gnus-extra-headers's value is 
| (To Newsgroups X-Newsreader)
| 
| 
| *Extra headers to parse.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

| Defined in `gnus-sum'.
