Description

Example display in content from a typical message:

From: Felix Miata <mrmazda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

...
Message-id: 5528514B.5050409@earthlink.net

Note the identical length 13 characters following "@" in each.

Here's one even worse:

From: Michael Andres <ma@xxxxxxx>

...
Message-id: 201410021438.58229.ma@suse.de

Here the matching length is 7 characters, but the message-id includes the
entirety of the sender Michael's actual email address.

What's the point of munging at all if the whole email address is apparent by
putting 1 and 1 together? Does the message-id even need to be displayed in

? Wny not simply sender and date?

"The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant
words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
