Feature request: bring back PowerPost style Message-ID generation as an option

[jrehmer]

I know some people hate it, but the way PowerPost and similar tools generate the Message-IDs containing partXXXofXXX to represent the part numbers is very valuable to me. It makes it ridiculously simple for me as a user, and a server admin, to see exactly which articles came through and which did not in various situations.

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for, but perhaps adding part{0part}of{parts} to the --subject parameter is what you want?

PowerPost Message-IDs look like this:

<part25of168.EU4wMMScxjDSDAXad8aS@powerpost2000AA.local>

The only part of the Message-ID that changes between articles is the part numbers.

Being a server admin, it's easier for me to look at logs, which only contain a Message-ID and no other information that I may need to pull out of overview data.

Oops, I thought you meant subject. But the same applies for the --message-id option, so you probably want something like --message-id "part{part}of{parts}.${rand(20)}@powerpost2000AA.local"

Yep, as in #97, I did not fully read this feature was already there, thanks again.
