Messenger: paste large portions of text as txt file

Submitted by antiufo on June 29, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

Sometimes we need to paste large portions of text to messenger, but messages length is limited.

If text is too much, messenger should not just copy the first hundreds characters, but it should copy it as text file and send it.

It should just stop limiting the size?!

@Ensign Joe Yeah, it should, because other IM apps (Such as Pidgin) don't have any limit on size, and the Messenger service will still send it to those who are using WLM without cutting excess text that would otherwise be cut off by the program itself.
