Indeed. Thanks for the info.

It looks as though KMail did that; at least, I can't imagine how finger 
trouble could have done it, even at 02:30. I have only the one outgoing mail 
account set up in KMail, and that's directly to my ISP, so my fetchmail 
fiddling isn't implicated. I haven't heard of KMail duplicating /outgoing/ 
emails before, though.

Maybe I did do something stupid - it wouldn't be the first time. I'll have 
to keep an eye on this one, and I hope someone will tell me if it happens 
again.
