Yes, in whatever format it happens to be.

Correct.

This one intrigues me but I can not say that I have ever come across this
construct.  Have you?  After thinking about it, maybe I should be more
liberal and say that this situation would be a yes.  Let's do it like this:

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received:.*myhost.*$

Or to look at a real but altered example:

Received: from [IPADDR] (helo=foo)
        by mailfilter2.mecnet.net with smtp (Exim 4.12)
        id 19sifQ-00087T-00; Fri, 29 Aug 2003 08:47:52 -0400
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This would be a yes also.  Of all the Message-Id's I've been looking at, if
there is a match then the host format will be mirrored in the Received line.

Thanks!  I appreciate your effort in whatever fits your schedule.
