1100 is the char limit, right? Now I paste a message that's 1500 chars long so Plus! Takes the first 1090 chars appends special hax string saying something like "to be continued" then sends it. Then it does the same for the remaining 410 chars only a string is added to the beginning to say that this is the continuation of the previous message.

Say the message is abcdefgh
My client sends abcd*1/2* and efgh*2/2*
Here * is a single special char or a set of special chars that don't show up in normal messages.
The recipient's client sees the *1/2* and waits for the second part.
If it arrives before a time out period, both messages are joint and shown. Else only the messages that showed up before the time out are shown

Seems like a good idea to me. What does the Patch think?
