tmux.GlobalSessionScope.SetMessageFormat(ctx: context.Context, value: string) -> error
```

SetMessageFormat stores the "message-format" session option as string (tmux 3.7 or later). Read it with [SessionOptionValues.MessageFormat] from [GlobalSessionScope.Options]; [GlobalSessionScope.UnsetOption] restores inheritance or the global default.
