### Request historic messages
Sends a request for historic messages to a Mailserver. The Mailserver node MUST be a direct peer and MUST be marked a trusted (using `shh_markTrustedPeer`).
Sends a request for historic messages to a Mailserver. The Mailserver node MUST be a direct peer and MUST be marked as trusted (using `shh_markTrustedPeer`).
The request does not wait for the response. It marely sends a peer-to-peer message to the Mailserver and it's up to Mailserver to process it and start sending historic messages.
