The Message-ID gets copied into the References of replies. I can imagine a situation where a scammer changed the Message-ID in order to make a message appear in the wrong thread (most MUAs try to display messages in threads, and do it in a sufficiently similar manner that such a scam might work). The same might even be true of Content-Type (though the scammer would have to be pretty smart to dream up a viable mechanism). But, sadly, scammers ARE smart :-( . -- Charles H.
