You may not need all of that. (But get thee to perl if you really do.)

This header is from your posting. It is quite reliable about duplicate messages and I haven't seen a message without the header in years. It's created by the sending mail client and is unique enough that simply comparing that header with another copy of the message is adequate.  Eudora uses that technique to handle its "delete duplicates" option and I have never been upset with it.
