I do think a send-hook will help.  I'll leave specifics to you. :)

The algorithm protects against repetition up to 26 messages per second
by a single mutt process.  Two separate processes will generate
different IDs, unless you're recycling process ids more than once per
second.

So... I wouldn't be opposed to a new algo with a real hash, but I think
collisions are already pretty unlikely.
