Hi Morgan,
I downloaded "remove duplicates plug-in" from Gnome: I used the 7th
november version since I'm running Gutsy.
http://www.gnome.org/~carlosg/stuff/evolution/
I spent some time on Google and found myself on the gnome page.
There is also some info in the
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=384338 . I can't download the
deb file. Don't have permission, but will follow that up with the
forums.
Regards, and thanks,
Terry Logie
