Package: claws-mail
Version: 3.7.1-2
Severity: important

Claws-Mail generates Message-ID headers of the form
<time.num...@hostname> ; for example, <20090529055315.7f6ad...@foobar> .

This does not conform to RFC-2822, which requires that the string
after the "@" character be a fully-qualified domain name, in order
to make the Message-ID globally unique. Some mailing list software
will refuse to process messages because of this problem.

A better choice would be for the Message-ID to be of the form
<time.number.use...@fqdn> , where "use...@fqdn" is the sender's email
address; for example, <20090309043710.b6bc3b96.ian_br...@fastmail.net> .
This is what Sylpheed already does.

Please import the relevant code section from Sylpheed, and also send
this patch upstream. Thanks.
