So - if you send mail to the openvpn-devel list, and your MTA either
omits the "message-id:" header or mangles it in funky ways, Sourceforge
will add a new message-id (required by RFC822 and successors) *but*
seems to do this at a point in the processing where their MTA sees
multiple individual mails (one per receipient?) and the message-id:
seen at the receiving end is no longer unique.

This particular mail ended up with at least these message IDs...

        <[email protected]>
        <[email protected]>
        <[email protected]>

(so it's clear that it wasn't done by "something close to the receipient",
but somewhere in the sourceforge mailing list system)


Long story cut short: I'll check patches for such message-IDs in future,
and ask for re-sending from a less broken sending MTA.

(I'm not going to discuss this with SF - it would be way easier to just
migrate the list away than find someone there who would understand and
fix that)
