I'm more concerned about intentional abuse. For example if you're dropping duplicate messages by Message-ID, I could first send this reply to you privately, and then another message with same Message-ID: but different content to the mailing list, and you'd never know it without looking into the archives from web.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if there still were some crappy webforms that always sent the same Message-Id..
