The specs require that a fidonet address be in the origin line. Pulling the
address from that line is simple.
The last things that I looked at about MSGID said that it was permissive,
and, when used, it must be distinctive. I don't recall seeing anything in
there mandating how it was to be made up. And, as I recall, that was
document that was only a proposed spec, and not a real thing.
