One of formail, procmail and smartlist also generated message-ids containing quoted-string around that time. AFAICR the format was "word.word.word"@hostname.

Yep. That was formail and it stopped doing so in version 3.12, released 1999-03-02

It's almost ten years ago, but perhaps you still remember why?

I'm assuming that the other three sources I've found (PP and unnamed gateways from XNS and X.400) stopped for similar reasons.
