Hi, Dave,
in the past, I have seen problems with the length of Message-IDs for
messages, which were gatewayed from the Internet to an X.400 network.
After some investigation it turned out that X.400 seems to have a limit
of only 64 characters (if memory serves). Messages with longer
Message-ID's were rejected and undeliverable. As the at-sign cannot be
part of an X.400 message-id without encoding (I believe) there is no
such thing as a left-id in X.400. But you may want to read the MIXER
document in more detail to be sure.
The question remains whether you want to this (X.400 presence in the
world) into account ;-)

Thanks for the various responses. Most have explored the standards
documented limits pretty well.
Are there any further comments about known, limits in existing
implementations
