As far as I can tell, it's the only way of setting the hostname part of
the generated 'Message-ID: ' header.

Hi,
I tried to set the hostname part of my outgoing mails to
"cc.usu.edu" instead of my comps name. I tried it using just plain set
hostname="cc.usu.edu" but that does not do it. My emails still had my
comps name. So I switched to set my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.
and that works
