What does this look like:

Message-Id: <Pine.A41.3.95q.980122080938.23466D-100000@GEO.math.uni-hamburg.de>

I did check RFC822 and 821, and by my reading email is allowed but not
required to have message-ids.  In practice, find me some mail that doesn't.

While we're on standards, recall that Reply-To is to specified by the
originator, although RFC822 recognizes it might be useful to coerce
messages back to a list.
