Therefore, could-it be (easily) possible to modify the messaging file code in order to introduce a rule that any manually entered message beginning with ?? ???? ?? would-be process without message-id ? The ?? dinosaur ?? aka uiview have such a rule. Taking example with HF APRS ops, sometime i can???t hear direct some digi/igates due to propagation skip but i know they are ?? on air ??, then sending manually a ?APRSD relayed by "in range" igates, when getting the answer i can make a picture of actual propagation status at this station, quite useful for HF ops.

That is probably the right approach, but I do remember looking into doing
exactly that a long time ago and not being able to figure out the code 
enough to get it done.  I have not looked into it since, and maybe it is in 
fact easy to do.  Maybe this would be a good one for a volunteer to look into
and maybe submit some code changes?
