st> The main drawback to using Message IDs that I can see is that st> broken MUAs may supply no Message-ID, or the same one st> repeatedly. In the former case, as a last resort Mailman can st> supply one, If the archive is considered to be a reflection of what Mailman _put_ on the wire, as distinct from what was received from the wire, then adding a Message-ID in the absence one already present is a reflection of a SHOULD requirement of rfc(2)822. In the absence of a Message-ID on an outgoing mail message many if not most MTAs will add one. Why not let Mailman anticipate the need to add a Message-ID when archiving the message rather than leaving it to the outgoing MTA? jam
