The purpose of this list is to give us a set of example conversation objects with which we intend to work well. The conversation objects are built from grouping different message types together, we're just listing the message types because otherwise we would be creating a combinatorial of possible conversation types.

From this list we'll make sure to handle certain main conversation type and other use cases that arise from certain message types.
