The place for configuring message options has been integrated into the Interface in OpenTTD 1.3.0 or newer.
This is where you change which News messages to display and how to display them.
You can open the message settings dialog by pressing the 
News button in the Game interface.
In OpenTTD 1.3.0, these settings were moved to Interface.

- 'Summary' means the message will scroll in the bottom status bar, and
- 'Full' means a news window will pop up.
