I think that's what I'm stuck with, and I can readily use the unique hostname
of my laptop when it's plugged into my campus network. The most common
message-IDs I see, however, use the place from where the message was sent,
so I was hoping to do that. No easy answers on doing so, though, so I'll
fall back to using my hostname from work.

Thanks for all the nice replies.
