Thanks Max, that helps a lot!
Miks, can you please test that for people who try to sign our PDFreaders petition? Please check if the script works for you, and ask Max if you don't get it running. (I myself have to see if I can get it running without Thunderbird.)
Regards, Matthias

since the last update of petition-sig.en.xml was over 4 months ago I decided to do the job myself. Many people subscribe this petition multiple times without any result and that's a pity.
To ease this job I wrote a dirty bash script. The instructions are in the first few lines. You simply have to export all emails send by the petition system, place the script file in it and it should output all new entries (without duplicates) which have to be copied in the petition file then.
Hope this helps in the future to make this task easier for a bunch of petition signatures.
Best, Max
PS: I know some people do not like automation of tiny tasks, but maybe it makes the job more attractive to our interns :P
