this is what transactions are for. if filtering is transactional, only one 
instance of pine will perform a given filter. after that, the message will be 
moved or changed such that it won't trigger the filter in the other instance.

having said that, i doubt IMAP allows arbitrary transactions. pine does obey a 
mailbox locking protocol, but i suspect that's unrelated.

still, it's an entirely reasonable question. does anyone know of any 
workarounds or preventive measures?
