Description Christian Kirbach 2006-11-02 09:53:09 UTC 
Currently, there is no option to prevent duplicate messages under email preferences. 
Personally, I consider those notifications as spam. In almost any case I am really not intrested in them and they are no use for me.
Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2006-11-06 15:54:02 UTC 
there seems to be demand for this from various people.
Comment 2 Kai Schroeder 2006-11-09 17:26:39 UTC 
I am one of them and I would even prefer this to be the default behaviour.
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2006-11-09 17:30:39 UTC 
I agree that it makes sense as the default behavior; if the duplicate bug report has useful information, bugsquadders already add that info to the original report in an additional comment.
Comment 4 Andrew Sobala 2006-11-10 19:07:18 UTC 
Crackpipe time: What about sending out a notification if the rate of duplication exceeds some magic value? That way if hundreds of duplicates start flooding in, you'll still find out about it.
Comment 5 Olav Vitters 2006-11-19 21:11:32 UTC 
Would be much easier to do under 3.0. I'll probably make sure it is a standard option in 3.2.
Comment 6 Max Kanat-Alexander 2009-08-21 06:37:48 UTC 
This is something that should be done upstream, and I believe there is already a bug filed for it there. (Upstream bugs are tracked at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ ).
