No, I don't think so. I think this is a separate issue in lei...
"t=1" in the remote query expands threads in a time-agnostic
way, so I don't think that's the problem (though I may be wrong...).
I'll have to check more closely this week (still stuck with POP3
user account/storage issues :<)

No, unfortunately not. Hopefully the admins can be convinced to
get rid of trailers (I'm happy vger did so a few years back).
But I'd rather deal with duplicates than miss messages (there
have been legitimate messages in the past which reused msgids,
unfortunately).
