They are the exact replica of the text that was displayed in the echo
area. E.g., when you save a buffer, Emacs first displays
"Saving /foo/bar/baz..."
there, with the ellipsis to tell that a prolonged
operation is in progress, then replaces that with
"Wrote /foo/bar/baz".
The *Messages* buffer simply stores this text verbatim.
