Section 3.3 discusses message identifiers, but fails to note that the
Message-ID message header field is optional.  It also alludes to
multiple identifiers, but does not note that Received fields may
incorporate a msg-id in the optional "id" component.

Though the id item in Received: fields is not necessarily a Message-ID;
it may also be an MTA's queue ID.
