Yes, but both messages have the same Message-ID: header.

Is there a way I can hack something up for example make my filter
write a list of message ID's to a little file in my home directory
(say, the last 20 message IDs) and then before it decides.
"lsearch $message_id in $home/.file
if $message_id found then seen finish
else
save....
write "$message_id to $home/.file
endif

going on; pretty much standard configs.
