NAME
     mgenmid -- generate a Message-ID

SYNOPSIS
     mgenmid

DESCRIPTION
     mgenmid  generates and prints a unique Message-ID.  The Message-ID consists
     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.
