Hmm...depends on your viewpoint - the MSGID gives your internet address
instead of a Fido address, which is a pretty strong hint to anybody who
checks kludge lines.  OTOH, I'm pretty sure it doesn't cause any kind of
problem at all.  If you wanted it to look a bit more Fido-like, you
might want to use your IP address instead of your text address, but if
you're connecting via SLIP or PPP, the IP address isn't guaranteed to be
unique.
    Later,
    Jerry.
