	Hi,
I'm sorry, but I do not understand it, what is it good for? The only
change I see is that the message IDs would be unnecessary long and
unreadable with your patch (though who does want to read it). I do not
see any issue with current approach of generating Message IDs in Camel,
neither with RFC 5322 [1], which, I confess, I only briefly searched for
message-id string.
	Bye,
	Milan
