Might want to go for 32K or 64K there, if you get a lot of mail.
I just checked a folder of 6K or so messages, and the average message-id
was 48 chars long. So only about 334 of them will fit in 16K (less if
you allow for database overhead) - so if you're likely to get more than
250-300 messages between the two you care about dup suppression, it
won't catch it.
