Gnus: message-mode creates `totally-fudged-out-message-id'

[Christian Schlauer]

Hello!

I use Gnus in Agent-mode, and I followed the Gnus-FAQ

,----[ (info "(gnus)[5.12]") ]
| People tell me my Message-IDs are not correct, why aren't they and how
| to fix it?
| 
| Answer
| ......
| 
| The message-ID is an unique identifier for messages you send. To make
| it unique, Gnus need to know which machine name to put after the "@".
| If the name of the machine where Gnus is running isn't suitable (it
| probably isn't at most private machines) you can tell Gnus what to use
| by saying:
| 

[ some methods...]

| 
|    Finally you can tell Gnus not to generate a Message-ID for News at
| all (and letting the server do the job) by saying
| 
|      (setq message-required-news-headers
|        (remove' Message-ID message-required-news-headers))

So I have the above two lines in my .gnus.el. This does not work
reliably when I use the Agent-mode and am `unplugged':

It works when I am `unplugged', compose a message (hit `a' in the
Summary buffer) and let the buffer with the message `hang around'
until I am `plugged', and send it with C-c C-c. See my posting on
gmane.test on 2007-04-25, `Test Gnus offline, message window left open
until Gnus online': it has Message-ID: <address@hidden>.

However, when I am `unplugged', compose a message (hit `a' in the
Summary buffer) and queue the message with C-c C-c so that it is
queued in the group `nndraft:queue', put Gnus into the `plugged' state
and send it with `J S' (`gnus-group-send-queue') in the Group buffer,
the Message-ID looks for example like this: Message-ID:
<address@hidden>. See my posting on
gmane.test on 2007-04-25, `Test Gnus offline, article queued'.

I will queue this message, too, before sending, so that it will get a
bad Message-ID, too.

(It got a bad Message-ID -- I accidentally posted it to gmane.test --
I did `a' now on `gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs' and yanked the text into
this posting, which I'll queue again. So it will get a bad Message-ID,
too.)
