Am I right in thinking the part of a message-ID that comes after the
'@' is generated from your system name.  ie. in my case 'chub.local'.

Can using posting styles change what goes in that spot by changing the
system name?

I've used the example provided in 'Posting Styles':

It looks like it should change the system name.

     (setq gnus-posting-styles
           '((".*"
              (signature-file "~/.signature")
              (name "User Name")
              ("X-Home-Page" (getenv "WWW_HOME"))
              (organization "People's Front Against MWM"))
   ==>        ("nnml:exp"
              (signature my-funny-signature-randomizer))
   ==>       ((equal (system-name) "gnarly")
              (signature my-quote-randomizer))
             (posting-from-work-p
              (signature-file "~/.work-signature")
              (address "user@bar.foo")
              (body "You are fired.\n\nSincerely, your boss.")
              (organization "Important Work, Inc"))
             ("^nn.+:"
              (signature-file "~/.mail-signature"))))

I've inserted the "nnml:exp" above and made such a group to experiment,
but haven't seen how to change the system name.  Or is that even what
the line is about.
