I might also throw in that the M-ID is intended to be unique per message, but that in some cases (non-compliant, broken mailers or list-software) it might not turn out to be, so MHonArc should provide a means of detecting if a M-ID is already used as an identifier (filename) and then select a replacement one (add a suffix?). just my E= 0.02
