I also  find it hard  to beleive  that someone wants  the MUA to  have a
specific Message-ID for their email, but  there is at least one software
that I'm aware of that does act upon the contents of it:

http://smarden.org/qconfirm/qconfirm-check-mid.1.html

It  seems  reasonable to  believe  that  I  may  want control  over  the
Message-ID for the purpose of making this work, however, it's definitely
not required that the MUA be responsible for this.

I think that's  reasonable. I don't see anything  necessarily wrong with
nmh being  able to generate  a Message-ID so  I'm sure patches  would be
considered if someone offered.
