Inverse message buffer doesn't play well with multi-liners

The inverse message buffer is nice, but does not group multi-line messages well. Reading upwards is not a natural reaction, and is rather confusing. For example, talking to Rynd initially and rechecking the message in the buffer is not pretty. Should multi-line messages be grouped, then put in inverse order in group in the message buffer?

Easily demonstrable by talking to Rynd upon starting a new game, and checking the message buffer.

Grouping sadly is technically pretty impossible in ADOM II (at least in any way I currently can think of). My line of reasoning is that you might want to see the latest news first. But it would be trivial to reverse the order and start at the bottom of the list (for example). What do you think?

It would be more intuitive and readable in that format. If everything is in a top down format it's best to keep with convention I would think.

Ok, I'll take it into account for 0.2.7!
