   You said that "in order not to confuse users" the IDs generated by GNUS
   should use gnus-use-generic-from. The message-ID field is not intended
   for users to use; it is intended for software. In GNUS, a user never even
   sees message-IDs unless he specifically asks for them. So why does it
   bother you?

Because under some circumstances, GNUS will ask the user for the domain
even if gnus-use-generic-from is set.  It still does the right thing,
but it is confusing.
