Well, I think just downloading it three times. Once from the server's IP 
address and one each from smtp.vianet.ca and mail.vianet.ca (which are 
one and the same).

I'm not sure what that means. I have email forwarding set in 
chrisaitken.net and shinypinemusic.com to forward to caitken-Bm8TULXj0r+VS+Kkd+ZcAg at public.gmane.org 
The problem is that to have three accounts in Thunderbird I have to giv 
e the mail server three different names -- hence, I get the same email 
three times.
