Yes, but Message-ID is an optional-field. So you're not promised that
it'll be there.

I don't know how much of a problem this is these days, but it's worth
noting.

And while they're *supposed* to be unique...well, who knows :)

But they're a good start, espeically if we can figure something out for
IDless ones and have a good policy on resolving misleading situations.
