Yeah, so I noticed.  I just removed message-id field when mailing.
I have a variable set that puts all outgoing (gnus generated) headers
in the compose buffer.  I thought just removing it there would cause
gnus to omit it.  Apparently not.  Apparently gnus regenerated it on
send because that is a gnus/emacs Message-id.

Apparently that doesn't work.  
The method Kai posted does work, but still sendmail or something
generates a local message-id.
I've decided for the moment to just generate
the right thing with gnus by hacking.  Doesn't seem possible to stop
message id generation locally.  Gnus is easy, but the mta is another
story.   What a big pain in the ass the whole thing is.

I'd hoped to disable message id generation locally and let my outgoing
smtp IP machine handle it.  But Just stopping gnus doens'nt produce
that effect either.  I tried in other messges else were after
disabling gnus altogether and my Machine name still gets stuck in there by
sendmail I guess. 
Can one stop sendmail from generating a message-id?  If I can do that
then mutt pine or whatever will all stop sticking in my local machine
name I hope.
