No. See <URL:http://www.xs4all.nl/~js/gnksa/gnksa.txt> and
<URL:http://www.landfield.com/usefor/>
The magic number seems to actually be 998.

Yes. From the GNKSA, above:
<<Followup agents SHOULD not shorten References headers. If
it is absolutely necessary to shorten the header, as a des-
perate last resort, a followup agent MAY do this by deleting
some of the message IDs. However, it MUST not delete the
first message ID, the last three message IDs (including that
of the immediate precursor), or any message ID mentioned in
the body of the followup.>>

Huh. Took at quick look at the source. Too tired to analyze properly, but
from what I can see it does have code to handle this intelligently and isn't
just truncating. Or isn't supposed to be, at least.

Message-ID should be the host from which the message was submitted, IIRC.
