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.

Message-Id: <email@hidden">email@hidden>

Wouldn't the message ID be different if the two mails came by a different route?

No; the ID is created when the message is created.  The routing doesn't change that.  I'm sending this both to the list and directly to your email account.  Compare the message ID in both messages you receive.  In fact, I'm sending a copy to myself, so I can make that comparison myself.
