You really shouldn't change the Message-Id: header if there is one. It's
there to identify the message. Yes...they look different as built by
different MUAs...the essential requirement is simply that a given Id
identify one message in all the world's supply of messages (I'm sure that
isn't always the case). Some of them are really annoying to grep for in
logs (I have good results feeding exigrep a sensible portion of the ID).

Adding a Message-Id: if there isn't one would seem to make more sense.
