more duplicates than there were total headers retrieved?

[micky]

Using version 5, it was there, but I couldn't find a thread I wanted to
read and add to, so I fetched Recent Headers, 400 of them, and the
notation at the bottom shows 45 headers retrieved, and no Sections or
Filtered, but 62 Duplicates

How can there be more duplicates than there were headers retrieved?

I thought they didn't become duplicates until after they were retrieved.
And what are Sections?

You got 45 new headers added to the message list, plus 62 duplicates of
headers which you already had.

And what are Sections?

I did. Do you want to make something of it?

Oops, I guess you do.

I'm looking. I have to read this slowly.

Thanks and double thanks.
