I started using slrn and leafnode together, and I've got these lines
in my ~/.slrnrc file:

  %% Leafnode specific: We don't want SLRN to generate its own Message-IDs!
  set generate_message_id 0
  set read_active 1

which I probably copied from some FAQ or HOWTO.  I think (but I could
be wrong!) most newsreaders generate their own MIDs by default.

Out of curiosity, what will go wrong in leafnode if I let slrn
generate MIDs?
