[I posted this on netscape.mozilla.users.general without getting a reply, maybe a developer knows the secret?]
Hello, this is a common problem, and maybe there is a solution, but I was not able to find it (BTW, is this list archived somewhere?) I am using Mozilla 1.1b on Linux. Supposed the email address configured for a news/mail account is [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mozilla generates Message-IDs in mail and news looking like this [EMAIL PROTECTED] which may not be a unique message ID if other mail addresses ending in "blafasel.com" exist. At least usenet postings shall have a unique message ID. Possible solutions: 1. Don't let the news client generate message IDs for news articles at all. Don't generate a Message-ID: header. Let the news server generate the message ID it likes. 2. Let the news client set the part after the "@" to a value which is configurable. I for example got a user ID from my public news server upon registration which I shall use to generate unique message IDs. 3. Let the client use a message ID proposed by the server. My question: Is it possible to configure Mozilla to use one of the above solutions? Wolfgang
