| Well, if it helps any, Lyris archives all of its mail in ODBC accessible

You're no looking on your own belly only. We, who read and attend this
newsgroup use MUAs that use Message-Id's fro theading purposes. Some
even Run Local Hypermail achives locally that used to work ok, before
you started Messing the Message-Id's the "Lyris way".
Now I can't see who said what and when and all the messages are
dying all over my newsgroup.
I'm Using Emacs Gnus, The True Unix Mail/Newsreader.
So, Use the standard RFC method that says, that Any user specified field is
started with "X-" and move yout message Id's there.
RFC 822:
4.7.4. EXTENSION-FIELD
A limited number of common fields have been defined in
this document. As network mail requirements dictate, addi-
tional fields may be standardized. To provide user-defined
fields with a measure of safety, in name selection, such
extension-fields will never have names that begin with the
string "X-".
Names of Extension-fields are registered with the Network
Information Center, SRI International, Menlo Park, California.
4.7.5. USER-DEFINED-FIELD
Individual users of network mail are free to define and
use additional header fields. Such fields must have names
which are not already used in the current specification or in
any definitions of extension-fields, and the overall syntax of
these user-defined-fields must conform to this specification's
rules for delimiting and folding fields. Due to the
extension-field publishing process, the name of a user-
defined-field may be pre-empted
Note: The prefatory string "X-" will never be used in the
names of Extension-fields. This provides user-defined
fields with a protected set of names.
