Can you call (message-make-fqdn) (hit `C-x C-e' after the closing parenthesis)? Also call (message-user-mail-address) and let us know what they say. Finally, what's the value of user-mail-address (use `C-h v' to find out)? If your user-mail-address is set properly you should not get that message ID. In your particular case you should get <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Generally speaking, you can make any message ID you like, it's just good netiquette not to unless you don't have your own IP in a static domain. I don't know if there's a relevant RFC, but at least this draft infers you can generate it with the domain of your e-mail address: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/usefor/drafts/draft-ietf-usefor-message-id-01.txt supported by some discussions: http://www.imc.org/ietf-usefor/1997/May/0181.html MA> This might result in duplicate M-ID, which is usually no problem.

Of course, avoiding this possibility is your choice.
