[TriLUG] Email header message IDs

Working on some email parsing of the TriLUG PiperMail archive and I was
wondering about Message-ID: in the header.

How *unique* are those? Perhaps a better question: Should I worry about
collisions if I were to use it as a row ID?

If it isn't very safe then I can always append ctime milliseconds to the
end to ensure.
