No, and this is the first thing I want to do. I'm getting some simple
utilities developed which will run all week (niced suitably) and extract
and MD5sum each attachment. I'll then count how many unique message-IDs
have the same unique document, and I'll get a report. This has been under
discussion in our group for some time --- let me get this done and I'll
let all of you know.

Unfortunately, you're totally right. The junk will keep growing.
