That's the way the MTA (say sendmail) would generate it. The message id is
generally inserted by the MUA (netscape, pegasus, outlook, pine, mutt,
whatever) - each of which has arbitrary methods of generating message-ids and
ensuring uniqueness (for upto 5 years, I believe, according to some RFC)
Usual way is to use a timestamp and then put that in the mesg id, or hash it
somehow first, and then put it into the mesg id.

LOST #153 -**< Sub : XEmacs != Emacs on X >**-
XEmacs and Emacs are distinct editors, with many similarities.
Both of them provide graphical user interfaces in X windows.
If you want to use them in "console mode" (on an xterm), you
can invoke them as `emacs -nw' or `xemacs -nw'
