Well, there's pop3_reuse_xuidl setting which uses X-UIDL header. I
haven't yet heard of anyone really wanting to use Message-ID
directly. Also I'm not sure how exactly that would work. Like would
it just include the parsed Message-ID without any comments and <> an
such, or something else?
Nowadays I'm trying to resist changes that don't affect more than a
few people :)
