Sometimes they do appear. It is forbidden.
The less discussion about what-if-and-when, the better.

I see one such message with duplicate Message-ID per 200.000 messages
on the average at our site (last two months average). In almost every
case a messages originates from MUA:
  QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7
and rarely from:
  Microsoft Office Outlook 11  - or 12.0

At least with Eudora there is apparently a bug which produces
a duplicate (and different) Message-ID on mail forwarding.
