I only say this in case anyone reads your message and gets the wrong idea. Currently, there is no feasible preimage attack for MD5. You can easily generate two colliding inputs, but cannot, given a hash, find an input to generate that hash.

And I don't believe that accidental MD5 collisions are something to worry about.
