I might also throw in that the M-ID is intended to be unique per
message, but that in some cases (non-compliant, broken mailers or
list-software) it might not turn out to be, so MHonArc should
provide a means of detecting if a M-ID is already used as an
identifier (filename) and then select a replacement one (add a
suffix?).
Given that MHonArc currently generates locally unique Message-IDs
for messages without them < i doubt this is a problem.
