I am running Outlook 2000 SP-3. I have several thousand
emails in different folders that I need to print for a
court case. In many cases, I filed a copy of the same
message in two different folders. Is there an easy way to
avoid printing the duplicate messages? Here is what I
have tried:

--Copy the messages from one folder into another
temporary folder, and then export to a .pst file. Delete
all the messages from the temp folder.
--Copy the messages from a second folder to the temp
folder. Export to the same .pst file, but click the "do
not export duplicates" option. This doesn't avoid
exporting duplicate messages - apparently Outlook treats
duplicates that came from two different folders as two
different messages.
--Tried something similar using "Archive" instead of
export.

Thanks in advance.
