interesting/useful mailing list software feature: reject apparent
duplicate messages based on checksum of (partial) message bodies.
(but what is up with the both-justified text formatting? ugh!)

Subject: Rejected posting to yyyyyyy@example.org
To: user@example.org
Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it appears to have
already been distributed to the yyyyyyy list. That is, a message with identical
text (but possibly with different mail headers) has been posted to the list
recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have a good reason to resend
this message to the list (for instance because you have been notified of a
hardware failure with loss of data), please alter the text of the message in
some way and resend it to the list. Note that altering the "Subject:" line or
adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is not sufficient; you
should instead add a sentence or two at the top explaining why you are
resending the message, so that the other subscribers understand why they are
getting two copies of the same message.
