Jeffrey Stedfast: > keep in mind that message-ids are not guarenteed to be unique no matter > what you do. rfc2822 even comments on this. rfc2822 says clearly: Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field. Should. You don't HAVE TO generate an id. But if you decide to do so: The "Message-ID:" field contains a single unique message identifier. ...it has to be unique. And other programs do it that way. It may be a game for math's interested people to state that id's can never be unique under every circumstances, ok. But to be more practical: Please just google for "camel@localhost". Some thousand adresses, and these are only the mails that found a way into the web. The list I mentioned above is full of professionals, and they all say the same (Never had that before :-) ): Evolution has to generate a valid and unique ID - or - must not generate one and leave this job for the servers. I'd like to continue using this program. I really like it. But I get bashed on my mailinglists. It seems many people are checking this, I get a mail every month: "Correct your MsgID!". Hm, maybe typical german. :-) Bye and thanks, J�rg -- http://www.gesindel.de/neu/ | Fontlinge | Die Schriftenverwaltung f�r LINUX _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
