Well, this is for my personal mail...I think I will probably give it a try.
The program can log errors so in the few cases that might occur I think I can "manufacture" my own message id.
I guess that the bottom line is that if it exists it is unique...

Hi, I am futzing around with Andrew Stuarts "Catchmail" program that stores emails into a postgresql database.
I want to avoid inserting the same email more than once... (pieces of the email actually get emplaced into several tables).
Is the "Message-ID" header field a globally unique identifer?
It is intended to be, but since it is generated by either the MUA or the first MTA that sees the message, there is a lot of scope for broken software to screw things up.
