Thanks Kevin. Any chance you can restore the %Y%m%d%H%M%S prefix? I brought this up here in a patch <20210110213922.iqTO594q5DM@dcvr>. The great thing about such Message-IDs is that easily obvious when that message is from. I made git-send-email match this old mutt behavior back in 2016, even. Again, date-time isn't a privacy issue since the Date header already exists, and Received is typically close. I'm sure many Linux kernel and GNU toolchain folks would appreciate it :) Thanks again for mutt.
