`message-deletable-headers' says what headers to delete before
generating the headers, and the headers to be treated this way are
Message-ID, Date and Lines.  Now, it could be argued that either of
these headers should be kept if the user inserts them manually, but a
duplicate Message-ID will mean that the message wouldn't be
propagated and a buggy Date means the same thing.

So if you want to generate your own Message-ID when generating the
message buffer, you will have to fiddle with that variable.
