Is it legal to put additional text on the Message-Id: header line
to the right of the closing angle bracket? What about between
the colon and the left-side angle bracket? Should it be put into
quotation marks or paren- theses for safety?
This is part of something for a filter, so it is indirectly
procmail-related.
According to RFC 822:
: optional-field =
: / "Message-ID" ":" msg-id
: / "Resent-Message-ID" ":" msg-id
[...]
: msg-id = "<" addr-spec ">" ; Unique message id
So, no, you shouldn't have any additional text on "Message-Id:"
lines.

Under the current standard, rfc822, comments and folding white-space
are allowed before and after all lexical tokens in a message-id.

Doh! Forget I said anything...
