It doesn't look good to me at all, and I'm against installing any of
that stuff, certainly at this time, hopefully never.
Please stop pushing this issue, as I will not agree to installing
anything that complex. The only changes I'm willing to consider wrt
this issue are local changes in message.el that affect only the
message-id. Please drop any wider and more general changes, as I will
not agree to them.
TIA
