You may find it useful to cite RFC 5322, section 3.6.4, and emphasize "unique" while mentioning the algorithm for populating References and In-Reply-To presented there. > _However_, someone participating in "email mode" will of course send a > message with its own distinct message-id from their source system, and > that does not survive the email->discourse->email-out process.

Anybody who's in the CCs who participates in "email mode" will get (practically speaking) unfilterable duplicates, and (if there is offline discussion) a bogus new thread. I wonder if this goes all the way through to the backend database (ie, the only id a message gets are its thread id, a timestamp, and some way to ensure a total order in the case of equal timestamps), and the only place in Discourse where the unique Message-ID appears is in the outgoing message. In that case getting any sanity in Discourse email could be very expensive for Discourse.
