Sorry for following up again, but you are wrong for so many reasons
that I forgot to mention one.
Qmail is an *Internet* mail delivery agent; it is an error to use
qmail-inject to process any other kind of message. As the entry point
to Internet mail delivery, qmail-inject ensures that the messages it
outputs are compliant with RFC 822. It also takes some non-standard
messages (e.g., those lacking a Message-ID) and fixes them up to be
compliant. This is hardly "broken"; it is a natural (and obvious, and
useful) consequence of injecting your message for Internet mail
delivery.
