Looks like some messages come in as duplicates with the same message-id
and this triggers the new-mail sound.  It appears that some senders have
harvested multiple email addresses and are sending one message to more
than one of my addresses resulting in duplicate copies with the same
message-id in one folder.  When I open these duplicates (sometimes more
than 2), the first 2 opened trigger the new-mail sound on open.

In the case of the devel mailing list; I get 3 copies, sent as 3
separate originating messages, with the same message-id in all 3...
eg,
482:Message-ID: <20181106082139.qenesy4salbszrag at busgosu>
483:Message-ID: <20181106082139.qenesy4salbszrag at busgosu>
484:Message-ID: <20181106082139.qenesy4salbszrag at busgosu>
All 3 took different paths...
