COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no objection to this extension; I think it will be helpful for
some folks. Interestingly, I can't see ever using it myself: When I get
duplicates from a mailing list, I *always* want the one that was sent
from the list, with the List-* header fields on it, and *not* the one
sent directly to me. Unfortunately, the one from the list is almost
always going to arrive after the one sent directly to me, and the
extension doesn't give me enough state to find the message(s) that came
in earlier so I can decide which one to keep. But like I said, I can see
others using this.

As to specific comments:

   As a side-effect, the "duplicate" test adds the message ID to an
   internal duplicate tracking list once the Sieve execution finishes
   successfully.

I think this may have been mentioned in response to someone else's
comment, but perhaps this should be:

   As a side-effect, the "duplicate" test adds a unique identifier
   (again, by default the contents of the Message-ID header field) to an
   internal duplicate tracking list once the Sieve execution finishes
   successfully.

And then change other occurrences of "message ID" to "unique identifier"
elsewhere in the document as appropriate.
