Why do that?  Why not just prevent duplicates in the first place,
which is what the option currently does?

If you for some reason get duplicate entries somehow, in spite of
using the option to prevent them, you can always remove them.

I don't understand how that would be something that would happen
normally.  What is the problem that this would try to solve/prevent?

BTW - it's a pain to remove all of the formatting of your mails
to such lists.  Please consider using plain text, or at a minimum
not using a colored (i.e. non-white) background.  Just a request
or suggestion.
