Any number of reasons Paul, try using your imagination.  Aesthetics,
to conceal the (system-name) of one's machine, etc..

Fiddlesticks.  Message-IDs are referenced all the time by us humans.

I'm not advocating anything new here, just a re-order within
`message-make-fqdn'.  In fact, machines whose (system-name) returns
just "hostname" instead of "hostname.domain.dom" such on Solaris will
end up using `user-mail-address' for the message-id anyway.  I'm
simply requesting this behavior for all machines.  Or, at least the
option to choose it.
