Hellow!!!

Really i'm Gnus' fan so i'm wondering Gnus' message-id have some secret.

According my view:
gnu/linux start with "87"
darwin start with "m2"
windows-nt start with "86" or "83"

I saw the source code in message.el but still i do not
understand. Somebody explain about that?

Sincerely,

The first number is always (user-uid).  "87" is 1000, "m2" is 501, "86"
is 1001, "83" is 1004.

This is the function you want to understand:

  (defun message-unique-id ()
    ;; Don't use microseconds from (current-time), they may be unsupported.
    ;; Instead we use this randomly inited counter.
    (setq message-unique-id-char
          (% (1+ (or message-unique-id-char
                     (random (ash 1 20))))
             ;; (current-time) returns 16-bit ints,
             ;; and 2^16*25 just fits into 4 digits i base 36.
             (* 25 25)))
    (let ((tm (current-time)))
      (concat
       (if (or (eq system-type 'ms-dos)
               ;; message-number-base36 doesn't handle bigints.
               (floatp (user-uid)))
           (let ((user (downcase (user-login-name))))
             (while (string-match "[^a-z0-9_]" user)
               (aset user (match-beginning 0) ?_))
             user)
         (message-number-base36 (user-uid) -1))
       (message-number-base36 (+ (car tm)
                                 (ash (% message-unique-id-char 25) 16)) 4)
       (message-number-base36 (+ (nth 1 tm)
                                 (ash (/ message-unique-id-char 25) 16)) 4)
       ;; Append a given name, because while the generated ID is unique
       ;; to this newsreader, other newsreaders might otherwise generate
       ;; the same ID via another algorithm.
       ".fsf")))

One way to figure out what happens is to use the M-x edebug-defun
command on the function, and then calling it. You will then be able to
step through the function, seeing every return value along the way. Here
is the manual:

 · https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/edebug.html

It is quite handy!

E.g. the "87" you see is due to your uid, from the line:

         (message-number-base36 (user-uid) -1))

    Adam

Sorry still i do not understand what that means.
We can set other user-uid by setq?

Let's unpack inside-out:

,----[ C-h f user-uid RET ]
| user-uid is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
| 
| (user-uid)
| 
|   Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 18.
|   This function does not change global state, including the match data.
| 
| Return the effective uid of Emacs.
| Value is a fixnum, if it’s small enough, otherwise a bignum.
`----

So we get the uid of the user running Emacs. If you're on a one-user
Linux-system, that's often 1000.

For example, on my Debian GNU/Linux machine:

  $ grep $USER /etc/passwd
  asjo:x:1000:1000:Adam Sjøgren,,,:/home/asjo:/bin/bash

my uid is 1000.

Now, the next function:

,----[ C-h f message-number-base36 RET ]
| message-number-base36 is a compiled Lisp function in ‘message.el’.
| 
| (message-number-base36 NUM LEN)
| 
| Not documented.
`----

Not documented, but we can guess what it does from the name - it takes a
number and a length as input, and converts it to base36.

Here is the entire function from message.el:

  (defun message-number-base36 (num len)
    (if (if (< len 0)
            (<= num 0)
          (= len 0))
        ""
      (concat (message-number-base36 (/ num 36) (1- len))
              (char-to-string (aref "zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba9876543210"
                                    (% num 36))))))

As 1000 is 27*36 + 28*1, you can see it gets translated into "87" by
this function.

So there is no secret here.

> We can set other user-uid by setq?

No, but if you run Emacs as another user, with another uid, you get
another beginning of your Message-ID.


  Best regards,

    Adam

Also i did make some relative simple code [0] with Python. That works only
for me. Really i am so happy^^^

As Gnus fan, i did write this python code [***] for 1 year with all
respect!!! Eventually, i did portray Message-ID as <<the Universe>>.

There are require files such as __yw__.json, __yw__.py, lex__.py and the
last file *tmid.py* is exec file. Also __yw__.json file's permisson is
r--r--r-- and the path is '/__yw__/__yw__.json'. I still don't know
python's class() things so all codes run with def() things.

[***] Gnus fan's hobby code:

And then, i did clean up the codes [^^^] by moving to one repository

Offtopic, how to generate function documentation in this style in Gnus?
It looks so fancy.

Last night, i did add BTS/ARMY into my Python codes. In Particular,
BTS/ARMY will runs *always* with _uuid(). And _really_ my spam mail will
be the last at here, thanks^^^

What a beautiful World!!!
