I'm rather surprised I know the answer to one of these, but you'll find all that stuff in a file named "Message.strings" which is hidden away here (at least on my Mac):

/System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Resources/English.lproj/Message.strings

I want to change my settings so that people at work think I'm still using Outlook, but I haven't given it a go yet.
