There was a long debate about the message-id format that you could
probably dig up. For a long time, the Mutt ones were a date string
followed by an epoch timestamp.

The change in 2.0 was somewhat controversial. Note that this is now
configurable (which I hadn't known and / or had forgotten), so, assuming
you're using mutt >= 2.1, you can customize it if you'd like using this
config setting:
