Now there is a question. Is it worth to use base16 (hexadecimal) to compact 
message id to 34 characters or base32 to compact it to 27 characters? Using 
base16 is pretty easy: just replace %d with %x. Using base32 is more 
complicated.

With base64 and base85 the length can be decreased to 23 and 21, but I doubt 
that this is safe.
