    """The interface of the global message storage service.

    All messages that are stored in the system live in the message
    storage service.  A message stored in this service must have a
    Message-ID header.  The store writes an Message-ID-Hash header which
    contains the Base32 encoded SHA1 hash of the message's Message-ID
    header.  Any existing Message-ID-Hash header is overwritten.

    Either the Message-ID or the Message-ID-Hash header can be used to
    uniquely identify this message in the storage service.  While it is
    possible to see duplicate Message-IDs, this is never correct and the
    service is allowed to drop any subsequent colliding messages, or
    overwrite earlier messages with later ones.

    The combination of the List-Archive header and either the Message-ID
    or Message-ID-Hash header can be used to retrieve the message from
    the internet facing interface for the message store.  This can be
    considered a globally unique URI to the message.

    For example, a message with the following headers:

    Message-ID: <87myycy5eh.fsf@uwakimon.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp>
    Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 16:49:58 +0900
    List-Archive: http://archive.example.com/
    Message-ID-Hash: RXTJ357KFOTJP3NFJA6KMO65X7VQOHJI

    the globally unique URI would be:

    http://archive.example.com/RXTJ357KFOTJP3NFJA6KMO65X7VQOHJI
