If you do a re-send in Outlook it seems to resend the *exact* message,
including Message-ID.  The "fix" for this is to use M$-Exchange 2000 SP1
or later;  their MTA (on the server) rewrites the Message-ID of the
submitted message to a unique value.
Someone told me there is an issue with re-using Message-IDs in the DSN
functionality too, but I've never seen that one.
