For different machines with the same "right hand side" of the MID, the
algorithm in `message-unique-id' cannot guarantee uniqueness. It is
unlikely that the left hand side is the same, but not impossible.
RFC 2822, says: "The message identifier (msg-id) itself MUST be a
globally unique identifier for a message.". When using the unique,
full qualified hostname, Gnus' algorithm guarantees this uniqueness.
Bye, Reiner.
