Bot crashes on long messages #2

Open Timendus opened 4 hours ago

Meshtastic messages can only be quite short. The app lets me send no more than 234 characters (emoji are four characters). If the bot stores a long message and combines that with a long username, then it will crash as the total message size exceeds the maximum one packet can send. This needs to be paginated more intelligently.

This gives the correct message length, I think, taking emoji into account:

len(message.encode("utf-8"))
