Leave mail apps out. uuidgen doesn't produce a syntactically legal
Message-ID by itself (see RFC 5322, Section 3.6.4), and in practice
it's unreasonably long for a component. It's often convenient to have
a Message-ID of reasonable length that is unique to the host, but not
necessarily universally (until the @domain part is added).
I have to agree with Yidong; there's no good reason not to inline
(shell-command-to-string "uuidgen")
in any of the applications you've mentioned if you want an
uuidgen-format UUID.
