O.k., kmail seems to generate Message-ID anyway. In previous versions this was not always the case (IIRC). If a MTA is not adding it, maybe it has other ways of managment, who knows. > > Why?

That's pure opinion on both sides. When speaking of a _unique_ identifier, having a probability other than 0 is not acceptable. Kmail does it now pretty smart and uses the currently used email address. Truth is, that in a non-closed system a totally unique identifier cannot be assured. But again, who cares? There are enough mailers out there that do not even set the In-Reply-To: and References: headers. Only Message-ID: won't help with threaded display when you depend on the other two (kmail does).
