O.P. Messenger Plus! Live 1100 Character Limit and Yahoo! Messenger

Software Version:
Windows Live Messenger: 8.0.0792.00
Messenger Plus! Live: 4.01.0.240
Yahoo! Messenger: 8.0.0.508

When using Windows Live! Messenger with Windows Live Messenger with Yahoo! Messenger chat, when you send a message and you have the MSG Plus 1100 character limit enabled and you send a message over the default WLM Default limit the messages isn't received by the Yahoo! Messenger.
This may not be a bug as such but it probably should be fixed so you cannot send a message over the default WLM character limit just so people messages do get through to their Yahoo! buddies.

Thanks

This is an issue for MS and Yahoo to fix, to be honest. After all, they wrote the interop without taking into account varying message sizes.

Well it's not really, as WLM has a text limit set, which gets through to Yaho fine, Patchou extended the limit, so therefore Plus! needs to warn users when trying to send an extended message to Yahoo users.

SoundPacks - Scripts - Skins

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

If you disable the Messenger Plus! Live character increase, messages work correctly when you use all the characters. I don't think it is something that Microsoft and Yahoo can fix because they set the defaults for a reason and if they allowed you to use programs to increase the limit or removing the limit then they wouldn't have a limit in the first place.

EDIT: Refer to above post ^^^

Not at all, the character limit on all of Microsoft's clients by default is way lower. There is a reason why they put a limit on it.

I think it's best to make Plus! disable the character limit booster when talking to Yahoo contacts.

That would probably be the best solution to the problem.

Or.... Patchou could make Yahoo! Messenger Plus! Jk!

Lower than Yahoo? If so, then what about long Y!IM messages? Will they get trimmed by WLM?

I don't know how big YIM's character limit is. But that has nothing to do with this topic anyway. With way lower I meant way lower than the 1100 Plus! allows you.
