Summary: Disable message-id generation

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I've got an account at astraweb, and unfortunately 
their servers are quite picky on how the message-id 
must be constructed.

I've had trouble in the past with leafnode, and now 
with noffle, that the server will _not_ accept the msg-
id generated by noffle.

What I'd like to request is a way to tell noffle to 
not create a messageid, and just send the message as-
is to the upstream server, so that the upstream server 
will generate a msgid for the message.

Ofcourse, this would have to be used together with the 
post-locally entry, so that they can't be stored in 
the local spool.

Thanks!

Jan

I understand the reason for what you want.

Ideally I'd prefer to have Noffle generate a message ID
acceptable to astraweb. Have you got any clues as to the
problem with the Noffle message ID? I can't find any hints
on the astraweb site, and I'm pretty sure the message IDs
Noffle generates are 100% RFC compliant.

If that does prove impossible, then it should be not too
difficult to add an option for Noffle to strip out the
message ID when forwarding the article upstream.

I did a bit of a dig through the Noffle sourcecode (it's 
damn clean code!) of which the Debian Sid packages are 
made, and this is the patch I came up with.

It adds a new configuration option, add-message-id-if-
missing (bool), through which you can control if a message 
id should be generated inside the message, or not.

If you pick yes, Noffle works like it used to. If you 
choose no, it will not store a Message-ID: header in the 
text, but it will generate one to be able to store it in 
the outgoing queue.

I've tested it locally, works like a charm ehre.
