That's what this does... I suppose I should have written it selects all the duplicates except 1 copy of the duplicate. Try it, then you will see what I mean :)
Aha! I didn't realise that, it could well be then that mutt will be quite useful in doing any final clearing up. I cold even be clever and use it in a script, I've done that before for Maildir <--> Mbox copying scripts. I call mutt with a few commands 'push'[ed]. It means that the script can do the file handling type bits and mutt can do the mailbox merging etc.
