O.P. 2 suggestions: (!!X) and truncate contact names
Just 2 suggestions:

The same that you can write a message begining with // to send only one of them and avoid the warning about unknown commands, it'd be great if you could do the same with tags: ie: you write (!!tag) and it sends (!tag). You could say to your contacts something like:

if you write (!!VER) you get (!VER)

the secon suggestion is about truncate contact names. That feature is useful when the contact has a very long name andyou don't want it to mess up your screen so you truncate it. ok, but i've just noticed that one of my contacts has this nick:
quote:
J
O
R
G
E

so at the conversation i see

J
O
R
G
E says:
hello

and that's really annoying. So I though, I'll truncate his name but, oh!, my preferences say: Maximun character count = 12 and his nick has only 9! :( that's why plus doesn't truncate it and it still is displayed in 5 lines....

So the suggestion is this: Plus should truncate "Maximun character count" characters or less if there is a line break before those characters. This way the nick will fill into a single line and it'll look like better.

Those are my suggestions. Comments?
