As concat
   ".fsf"
is hardwired into message-unique-id, I had to redefine the entire
function, just to make that instead into
     "." (substring (system-name) -1 nil) ".fsf"
So do consider allowing the user to customize this easier.

So would a simple string suffice? Or would you want to be able to run
arbitrary lisp code to generate it?

Well all I know is I want to use the same .emacs file on multiple
machines, and have the last number of that machine put into the
Message-ID, so that's why I used
>  (substring (system-name) -1 nil) ".fsf" So do
So OK my code ran only once when emacs started. But maybe someone would
want to generate slightly different message IDs when sending to e.g.,
Snowden vs. Putin, so OK, the latter.

I think it's fine to redefine that function if you absolutely have to
have a different Message-ID.  It's not something that any user should
worry or care about, so I don't see any reason to allow customisation
beyond that.

Maybe in the docstring mention approved safe ways to "advise" this
function that the user can use to e.g., get the.......OK never mind. geez.
