 The optional `from` (1), `seqno` (3), `signature` (5) and `key` (6) protobuf fields are omitted from the message,
 since messages are identified by content, anonymous, and signed where necessary in the application layer.

 *Note*: The above logic handles two exceptional cases:
 (1) multiple snappy `data` can decompress to the same value,
 and (2) some message `data` can fail to snappy decompress altogether.
