I think this is a reasonable point.  But is there a reason that vim
can't fill in the Message-ID and User-Agent fields?  Presumably it does
when composing new messages, right?

That said, if the pre-filling in those fields will help other user
agents, then I don't see the binary shouldn't do that.  Like you said,
other user agents (like emacs) can change them if they see fit.

I don't think there's any reliance on gnus.  I certainly don't use it.

jamie.
