NAME
       mgenmid -- generate a Message-ID

SYNOPSIS
       mgenmid

DESCRIPTION
       mgenmid	generates and prints a unique Message-ID.  The Message-ID con-
       sists of	an encrypted timestamp,	a random value,	and a fully  qualified
       domain name.

       The fully qualified domain name is arrived at by:

       1.   Using `FQDN:' from ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/profile	(if set).

       2.   Resolving the current hostname.

       3.   Using the domain component of the mail address in `Local-Mailbox:'
	    from ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/profile (if set).

       If  these  steps	don't result in	a fully	qualified domain name, mgenmid
       fails.

EXIT STATUS
       The mgenmid utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
