I'm pretty sure the "scramble-message-id" feature is intended to prevent 
harvest spammers from mistaking your message-id for an email address.

As other people have said, the requirement is that the Message-ID
be unique -- there is no requirement that it "should properly be
formed from your domain name." The next version of Pine (4.51)
has a new feature called

 scramble-message-id

I'm using an alpha release of Pine 4.51 to compose this message
and if you check the Message-ID, you'll see it does not contain
my (or any) domain name. I hope there aren't any spam-detection
tools out there that think messages with Message-IDs like this
are spam -- please let me know if there are so I can warn the
Pinesters.

Thanks,
Nancy
