Dear Debian Legal Team,

Thank you very much for your help.  I've read each email in this
thread with care, and at last can consider this issue closed.

Anthony, thank you for this solution! :-)  I didn't know that this was allowed.
Ben, now there's a Message-ID field.  I'll upload to experimental as
soon as Sean Whitton grants me DM permissions for src:muse-el.

Sincerely,

That depends on the software that generated the message (e.g., 
Thunderbird seems to do uuid@domain, so avoids the privacy issue—at 
least it reveals less than the From header), but where it does you could 
just redact the hostname (or entire domain). That'd still preserve the 
ability to reference an individual message.


Message-Id:  and
Message-Id: 

are both pretty clear what you're doing.
