Re: #1479 USEPRO 3.8: Whether moderators SHOULD retain message-ID


Hi Harald,


  4.  Moderators are encouraged to retain the Message-ID header field
      if it is valid, and also retain the Date header field unless it
      appears to be stale (72 hours or more in the past)

Charles wanted a SHOULD for retaining message-ID. Nobody else commented.


I also reckon a SHOULD is better for the message-ID.  It would prevent duplicates
from being posted in case the same proto-article is posted twice (therefore sent
to the moderator with the same message-ID).  Useful for both auto-moderation bots
and manual moderation.

And they are encouraged to retain the Date: header (no need for a SHOULD here).
