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.
