Remarks
Requests news and MOTD from battle.net.
The news timestamp specifies the starting date for the news. To retrieve all available news entries, set this to zero. Timestamps are given in C/Unix format -- that is, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:00.000 -- and should be biased to UTC.
This message should be sent when you receive SID_ENTERCHAT. The official client stops processing messages after the user joins a game or enters a channel, and discards messages with more than 127 entries.
News can be requested for older products, but Battle.net will only return the server's Message-of-the-Day. However, this behavior has not been observed in official clients, and for an accurate protocol emulation, its use is not recommended.
