OK I am sending this by email to the mailing list, and I have set a
message-id on it which will be something like
*richmond.this-is-a-message-id.example.com but I am expecting that this
message id will be replaced with one from the mail system like
mailman.2516.1584004990.2412.info-gnus-english@gnu.org, but you won't
see that if you look at it in email I think, only if you look at the
news server at news.gnus.org. On there the original message-id will be
copied into references.

Time will tell...
