Now what was the purpose of the RHS of the Message ID again?

Bruce is arguing in favor of a _common_ message format, and
he is certainly not the only one. He has made it quite clear
that he understands the current limitations as described by
Russ, but that is not a valid reason _not_ to move mail and
news closer to each other. The same applies to "Re: " and
other warts. The issue is "migration" - not whether it's
_currently_ feasible.
