There are 2 duplicates caused by me moderating the mailing list. Thadeu, not 
sure I really see why one was blocked and the other not. Just generally if you 
could delay re-sends until the next day. Do not count on my ability to realize 
what was already re-send. Hard enough to say what is spam or not sometimes...
