For different machines with the same "right hand side" of the MID, the algorithm in `message-unique-id' cannot guarantee uniqueness. It is unlikely that the left hand side is the same, but not impossible. RFC 2822, says: "The message identifier (msg-id) itself MUST be a globally unique identifier for a message.". When using the unique, full qualified hostname, Gnus' algorithm guarantees this uniqueness.
