It still will. But we have PublicInbox::ContentHash::git_sha

At least for Maildir, IMAP, and NNTP where random access is
reliable and fast, it should be doable.

Since we have ~/.local/share/lei/store/mail_sync.sqlite3

to retrieving from Maildir, IMAP, NNTP; at least. mbox
can be a pain since message offsets can change.
