Well is it possible to remove the lock after 1500 characters (or whatever it is) and let the user keep typing, and just split the messages up.

I'd use it, it'd be really useful

There would definitely have to be a message that would say "Message max length reached: Splitting message" and it would have to be able to find the last word before the split, so words aren't split in half.

Yeah, maybe theres someway you can incorporate a HR (horisontal rule), where its splits

or simply send it as a new message, which is most likely more possible/easy,

sure thing. That's something I wanted to do a long time ago but then decided otherwise to prevent flooding. 1100 characters is already a lot for a message... in what occasion would you want to send more? (I need to be convinced this is for the greater good )

copy/paste e.g. large articles (although you could send the URL or file instead)
I can't think of another use tbh

Sending large amounts of code without "txt-ing it up"

It wouldn't really be able to be used to spam people as they could just copy&paste then send the message x amount of times anyway. Just make it like a text message and set it to so many "pages"

Yeah, I used to help people with php alot, and there was never anything that annoyed me more is when I had to split the code up (making it harder for the other person to understand)

Paste the code in a txt file and send that
