The message id is composed of a unique part and the domain name. However, in calculating the domain name, gnus-inews-message-id does not consider the variable gnus-use-generic-from, and hence may come up with a faulty domain. This is probably not very problematic, but for the sake of uniformity, and in order not to confuse users, I think the definition of gnus-inews-message-id should be changed to the following: (defun gnus-inews-message-id () "Generate unique Message-ID for user." ;; Message-ID should not contain a slash and should be terminated by ;; a number. I don't know the reason why it is so. (concat "<" (gnus-inews-unique-id) "@" (gnus-inews-domain-name gnus-use-generic-from) ">")) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Berkelaar | Email: michel@es.ele.tue.nl (prefered) Eindhoven University of Technology | ..!mcvax!euteal!michel (old) Dept. of Electrical Engineering | Design Automation Section | P.O.
