Take a look at this for example:
    http://www2.gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/raw-mail13179.html

This is a message created with Pine for Linux (look at Message-ID)

This is wrong. They should do it if the message lacks it but it's
not thier problem if it's not unique. They pass the message and forget
about it. As far as I know no MTA even logs Message-ID.

*You* can't do it which doesn't mean your MUA doesn't do it behind the
scenes.  You can do it with mutt. When you edit with headers and put
Message-ID you get it sent.

I'm giving Gnus a try now the message id of this post should be
    <address@hidden>
I've just put the header above the --text follows this line--
