Re: [Mantisbt-dev] purgemantis v0.1

Ah, but that still doesn't handle my intent. I want to erase duplicate 
*Mantis* messages, not duplicate messages.

When an issue is created in Mantis, I (as administrator) receive an 
email. Then I receive one when it is assigned and I receive one for 
every single note that is added to the issue. I receive one when it's 
re-assigned to someone else, and so on and so on.

I end up with at least 4 messages from Mantis in my inbox about the same 
issue. I go and work my way through my inbox and click delete for every 
one but the last for every issue. That is very tedious and something I 
can automate.

That's what the script does.
