Currently variable kill-do-not-save-duplicates checks only the (car

‘equal-including-properties’. AFAIU it would be trivial replace this
check by a call of "member", thus checking > the whole kill-ring.
Why do that? Why not just prevent duplicates in the first place, which
is what the option currently does? If you for some reason get
duplicate entries somehow, in spite of using the option to prevent
them, you can always remove them. I don't understand how that would be
something that would happen normally. What is the problem that this
would try to solve/prevent? ---
Currently not a check for duplicates is implemented, but for a repeat.
When having alternating strings to copy, they go into the kill-ring one
after one. That way it ended up having just two strings in the
kill-ring, and previous content lost.
BTW implementing it would be a way more complicated as thought because
of text properties.
BTW - it's a pain to remove all of the formatting of your mails to
such lists.
Hmm, don't you see a formatting when sending.
Please consider using plain text, or at a minimum not using a colored
(i.e. non-white) background.
Switched on "Readers Default Colors", which should help.
Just a request or suggestion.
