web services - Message ID in an E-Mail -


i working on enron email dataset , doing nlp analyses pertaining it. while going through emails along meta-data, confused message id field. in particular, wanted know how message-id affected (changes/remains same) when:-

  1. we reply email
  2. forward email
  3. create new email

etc.

the email data contains following fields (from sample email):-

message-id: <24968359.1075855415739.javamail.evans@thyme>
date: wed, 26 dec 2001 07:33:36 -0800 (pst)
from: kimberly.watson@enron.com
to: steven.harris@enron.com
subject: fw: red rock weekly reports
mime-version: 1.0
content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
content-transfer-encoding: 7bit
x-from: watson, kimberly
x-to: harris, steven
x-cc:
x-bcc:
x-folder: \steve_harris_jan2002\harris, steven\inbox
x-origin: kean-s
x-filename: skean (non-privileged).pst

//content follows

thanks in advance!

the message-id header provides "unique" value each , every message. when reply message, not re-use message-id of message replying to, create new one.

common practice put message-id header value reply's in-reply-to: header , append list of message-ids in references: header.
