NewsMessage format

General format

Quazal::NewsMessage.m_body holds the message data as XML attributes:

<news> 
    <message 
        unkattr=""
        unkattrii=""
        type="73498"
        icon="11"
        oasis="73498"
        pid="4660"
        time="insert a 32-bit timestamp here"
        <!--Message-specific attributes-->
    />
    <!--Optional further messages-->
<news/>

Note that "type" attribute is factually used by the game as Oasis ID. The unknown attributes are necessary.
