Is it possible to extend number of characters permitted in a Personal Message? by ksordo74 on 12-10-2007 at 02:59 AM

I was wondering if there is a script which allows this.

No, this is a limitation of WLM itself. Even if you did have a longer PSM, your contacts would not be able to see it.

I thought Apatch can do it

Possible via skinning.

To those who can:
923's Style:

    Search for: labelrichedit[id=atom(idPSMText)]
    and remove: maxtextlength:128;

    Search for: labelrichedit[id=atom(idPSMText)][isediting]
    and add: maxtextlength: 500;


NOTE: You should not increase the maximum length over 500 characters as the PSM data sent via MSN Protocol can only be of a certain length including any media ('What I'm listening to') data, and exceeding this length may cause problems for some users.

Grr, patches stealing my discovery with no credit...

923 Style is a file Messenger uses to style it's interface. If you don't know how/don't want to go about editing the messenger files yourself you can download Apatch, or Messpatch which both have the ability to lengthen the PSM(iirc).

thanks.
I edited the file manually, I can  now type a long message, but when I validate the message is truncated...
