If stripping a header like a Message-ID is a sensible thing to do, but
the user might want to unstrip it in rare cases, it might be an option
to place it in a form where Gnus will automatically remove it when
sending, something like
X-Remove: Message-Id: <xxxxx>
Then the user can still, if he considers the removal inappropriate, edit
the message accordingly and let the old header be used in that manner.
