/* The nsIMsgStringService is a a generic interface for our
   component based string bundle services. The idea is to have
   say imap implement this interface for the imap string bundle. 
   local will have its own version of the service for local 
   strings (pop, mailbox). 

   The first time the service is asked to fetch the string for an ID, 
   it will cache the string bundle that is returned and re-use it for 
   all future requests.
