As this is munging the contents of the line, if future versions of
format-patch start coloring the message ID values for some mistake, the
test using strip_msgid won't catch them anyway, so I'll amend the
stripping to actually strip the message id, like this:

	sed '/^Message-Id: /d' <"$1" >"$1+"

before applying.

Thanks.
