[x] Find a way to display text rather then string.dat (parsing it from another file is the best way, so translators will have an easier job translating the mail) (Files are loaded from a file in 'languages/sol.language.getlanguage()/text/mail/', the filename is the name savegame
("mail" .. pointer (cursor position & 'number of mail obtained') .. "_name")
[x] Store the text from the other file (use io:read() from a local variable)
[x] Draw the text and find a way to pass lines with a special character

[x] Add a Savegame Value that check what is the mail name (to avoid conflicts and to ensure the right mail has been given / read) in the form of "mail_" .. pointer (cursor position & 'number of mail obtained') .. "_name"), this is the value to use to parse and load the text.
[x] Add some savegame value that check if the mail has been opened / highlighted but not opened / mail not open and not highlighted
