* clients store "hashes" either in memory or in their drive to query for new messages:
* when reconnecting to a pad
* when connecting to chat or a mailbox
* thus, we can't change this function without invalidating client data which:
* is encrypted clientside
* can't be easily migrated
* don't break it!
