I think it would be enough to supply your own message-id header; I don't 
think it is necessarily mutt making it at all. Mutt hands messages to a 
mail system, and a mail system adds a message-id if one is missing.

You could (a) turn on "set edit_headers=yes" so the headers are visible 
in your message and (b) have your editor startup make one?

_Or_ you could "set sendmail=" to a script of your own to add a 
message-id header - that is what mutt uses to deliver the message to a 
mail system - you could add a header there then pass the message on to 
whatever you had mutt using before.
