30 Indeed. Thanks for the info.

32 It looks as though KMail did that; at least, I can't imagine how finger
33 trouble could have done it, even at 02:30. I have only the one outgoing mail
34 account set up in KMail, and that's directly to my ISP, so my fetchmail
35 fiddling isn't implicated. I haven't heard of KMail duplicating /outgoing/
36 emails before, though.

38 Maybe I did do something stupid - it wouldn't be the first time. I'll have
39 to keep an eye on this one, and I hope someone will tell me if it happens
40 again.
