Oh? how about:
	1) Post a dummy message on the local machine.
	2) Note its message-ID
	3) Post the *real* message somewhere else with the SAME
	   message-ID

I'm not too familiar with most of the mail->news gateways like ucbvax,
but they *should* respect your message-ID and not replace it with
their own.  Anyone got firm info on this ?  Because if this is the case,
NO PROBLEM :-)
