Hm. fh=[I][S][D] isn't as easy greppable as fixed_id=…, fixed_date=…
But these fixed_* are quite noisy. OTOH they shouldn't occur that often.

What about two log selectors

    submission_fixups  log submission mode message fixups on a separate line
    fixed_message_id   log submission mode fixed message id as id=



But I do not see any harm in logging the fixed message id w/o a new log
selector. What reason do we have not the use id=… even for a generated
(fixed) id?
