While we're at it, does anyone know what causes duplicate entries in
the active file?  We get several of these, which is one reason we see
some mail items twice (I remember someone complaining about this before;
perhaps the reason for this is like us, duplicate entries in the active
file).
One good way to find all duplicate entries in either a .newsrc or an
active file is to run the file through sort.  This helps clean up the
files, but doesn't prevent the system from creating more duplicates.
