Chris or someone. I got a complaint that my emailer messages were getting 
grabbed by a spam filter. 

Here is part of his second reply. I would appreciate it if I knew if this 
was a new emailer problem, something one of the patches fixes, or a 
permanent fixture of Emailer.

thanks!

Yes, this message again came in with no message-id, whereas none of your
messages since I started flagging a couple weeks ago have tripped it.  
But I
just went back and checked some of your older messages against the new
flagging rule and found another one that tripped it, so maybe this is just
something that always happens when you are on the road.  Probably claris
emailer is buggy.  Apple mail is buggy as all getout in the area of not
complying with email messaging RFCs, but it doesn't have this particular
problem which is a little blatent.

Some smtp servers will add a message-id if it is missing (particularly 
this
is appropriate at the point of injection), but ideally the email client is
supposed to provide a unique value for this field, which is relied upon by
threading mechanisms and for other purposes.  It looks like your messages
sent from work (or in any case messages that don't trip the flag rule) 
still
use Claris Emailer, but these get a message-id assigned by idiom.com, as 
in:

    Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Anyway that's what I get for looking at details.  More details that are
probably not much worth knowing about or bothering other people about.  On
the other hand I do tend to report RFC non-compliance.
