generate_message_id
-------------------

   Type: integer
   Default: 1

   If non-zero, slrn creates its own ``Message-Id:'' header lines
   (consisting of the string "slrn", time, process id, user- and
   hostname) when posting. Setting this variable has no effect if
   creation of Message-Ids has been disabled at compile time.

   Note: Although creating your own Message-Ids has a lot of advantages,
   you should only allow slrn to do so if the hostname of the machine it
   is running on is a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) or you can
   provide a unique hostname. Otherwise, you cannot guarantee that your
   Message-Ids are unique and should leave the job to your news server.
