Description

Hello,

By default on SMTP servers, if a Message-ID is not provided by client, server is generating it and add it to headers.

With Postal, no Message-ID is added.

Example on email received on Gmail:
Message-Id: <5919a517.b482df0a.41610.750cSMTPIN_ADDED_MISSING@mx.google.com>

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by tracing Postal's outgoing SMTP message handling, then reproduce an outgoing message without a Message-ID and inspect its headers; done means a missing Message-ID is added while an existing one remains unchanged, with coverage for both cases.
