Even RFC 822 specifies it, under optional fields. In the current
standard, RFC 5322, it says:
3.6.4. Identification Fields
Though listed as optional in the table in section 3.6, every
message
SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field. Furthermore, reply messages
SHOULD have "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" fields as appropriate
and as described below.
