No, it is not required for google smtp. I just wanted my message id
not to be created on my machine. I've got a invalid  fqdn. So, why
not let google do it.

Should there be an option?

I think, the default (add M-Id automagically) is quite sensible.
It took me hours to track this down, but thats because I am still
quite new
to emacs and gnus. I looked in the wrong places.
