Say the limit is 10 characters.

I say this:

lolkjijuhghytgh

when i post it plus makes it

lolkjiju::

sends it then sends

::hghytgh

plus notices the :: :: and joins then together to make one big one?

IIRC plus doesn't have control over messages in conversation windows...

It can be done, right? Plus can just change what WLM receives. Correct me if i'm wrong.
No longer here.

RE: Theory on making messages infinite length
I haven't read the whole thread but I just got an idea after reading the first post.
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? :P

I'm still stubborn on the idea that plus can't do that kind of changes, based on that old /echo request thread that i can't cite.

Just the fact that when changing the message value of a recieved message through a script can only be equal or less than the original length is a good enough way of showing that there is a limitation.  If Patchou had the ability to make a recieved message longer than he would have given this ability to scripters already (as it has already been asked for).
