The *-H and msglog/ files could easily have the ID included in them,
[[ not *really* needed, as the msglog/ file has the Message-ID ]]
but as the *-D cannot, one would have to make do with the the inode info
(inode number, date, size, ...) and a `sum' of the *-D in the *-H

But yes -- this sort of thing *should* not happen -- the file and dir should
written to disk before the message is accepted -- is smail insecure ?
