That's exactly why we chose to only use the Message-ID. We also 
contemplated using some other headers and/or a hash over the message 
body. But both things can differ for duplicate messages, e.g. for a 
message which you've received via a mailing list and additionally as 
cc'ed recipient because many mailing lists append a footer to the 
message body or add a label to the Subject header.
