Doesn't that make it quite likely that you'll end up with a Message-ID:
with _two_ @ signs in it? Is that permitted?

Users might not like it. I explicitly configured MH to add Message-ID
before sending, so that my outgoing folder had a record of the
Message-ID of each mail sent, and I could then refer to it more easily
-- looking for it in mailer logs, grepping for replies to it on a
mailing list, etc.
