It seems to me that Mozilla doesn't confirm to the Usenet standard when composing message IDs. A message ID should look like <alphanumerical_id_string>@<machine's_fqdn>. Like Communicator, Mozilla seems to insert the domain part of the user's e-mail address as FQDN, which is wrong unless you are sitting at a machine that has a constant IP/host name which is generally not the case if you use a dialup or DHCP connection. The intention behind all this is that you can identify any message by the singular message ID worldwide.
What we need is an option to manually specify the FQDN (in case the news provider offers users to do so which is the case with mine) or to let Mozilla completely ommit the Message-ID header line so the news server composes one itself. At the moment, Mozilla is *not* RFC compliant. -- Christian Hennecke The OS/2 Files - Die OS/2 Akten: http://www.os2world.com/os2files/
