[issue6598] calling email.utils.make_msgid frequently has a non-trivial probability of generating colliding ids

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Looking at my mail store, it looks like one more more mail clients use a GUID for the messageid, which is 36 characters.  So 39 doesn't seem so bad.  There's even one that is 74 characters long.  There are also shorter ones, though, so compactifying the result wouldn't be a bad thing.
