Re: message-Id has localhost

People do all kinds of odd things.
Like fully justify text on a media with coarse adjustment.  :-)

Wanting to specify the whole message-ID field is distinct from wanting
to set the trailing ‘@...’ part.

- The whole field could just be given as yet another field in the
  header, though currently nmh will complain it's an ‘illegal header
  line’.  

- Setting just the domain part is a more common need.  It's tied in to
  adjusting the From field, and which party takes on the email for
  delivery.  Otherwise, emails from foo.com leak the bar.com identity.
