exactly... that's what we do now...

also, don't worry about trying to rebuild the PKTs after tossing any netmails
they may contain... i mean, sure, it would be OK to exactly duplicate the PKT
right down to the name and timestamps but without the netmail but it shouldn't
be necessary as that netmail, when tossed a second time, should appear as a
dupe... this might also be a reason why so many other systems pack netmail and
echomail into separate PKTs...

speaking of dupes, it would also be nice for messages in the BADMAIL area to
have an additional couple of hidden control lines added to them stating what
echotag they were destined for, what system they arrived from and what dupe
checking method was used to catch them... this way we can move them to the
proper area if we determine that they are false positives or we can let the
sending system know of a possible problem...
