/**
 * Represents XMPP message packets. A message can be one of several types:
 *
 * <ul>
 *      <li>Message.Type.NORMAL -- (Default) a normal text message used in email like interface.
 *      <li>Message.Type.CHAT -- a typically short text message used in line-by-line chat interfaces.
 *      <li>Message.Type.GROUP_CHAT -- a chat message sent to a groupchat server for group chats.
 *      <li>Message.Type.HEADLINE -- a text message to be displayed in scrolling marquee displays.
 *      <li>Message.Type.ERROR -- indicates a messaging error.
 * </ul>
 *
 * For each message type, different message fields are typically used as follows:
 * <p>
 * <table border="1">
 * <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan="5"><b>Message type</b></td></tr>
 * <tr><td><i>Field</i></td><td><b>Normal</b></td><td><b>Chat</b></td><td><b>Group Chat</b></td><td><b>Headline</b></td><td><b>XMPPError</b></td></tr>
 * <tr><td><i>subject</i></td> <td>SHOULD</td><td>SHOULD NOT</td><td>SHOULD NOT</td><td>SHOULD NOT</td><td>SHOULD NOT</td></tr>
 * <tr><td><i>thread</i></td>  <td>OPTIONAL</td><td>SHOULD</td><td>OPTIONAL</td><td>OPTIONAL</td><td>SHOULD NOT</td></tr>
 * <tr><td><i>body</i></td>    <td>SHOULD</td><td>SHOULD</td><td>SHOULD</td><td>SHOULD</td><td>SHOULD NOT</td></tr>
 * <tr><td><i>error</i></td>   <td>MUST NOT</td><td>MUST NOT</td><td>MUST NOT</td><td>MUST NOT</td><td>MUST</td></tr>
