Change the way MESSAGE_UPDATE events are handled.

Previously we created a copy of the object and did some strange
iteration over the data and set the attributes that we thought
were valid. This worked back then in v0.1.0 of the library when
it was written, but it no longer works nowadays when we want to
be as future proof as possible.
