Reject messages that are too long #185

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Please reject messages that are too long: at the moment they are silently
accepted, so one has the impression they have been sent, but they do not
show up, as they are too long, e.g. >140 characters for Twitter.

A counter that shows how much over you are (like Twitter's web interface)
would be great, but failing that a simple error message reporting how many
characters you are over would be fine.

I get a message from Pidgin saying the message failed.
The counter you can add by a plugin called "conv. input chars count" by Dossy 
Shiobarra.
then you get a character count in the formatting toolbar.

twitter reports an error if the tweet is too long. In the current 0.3.0 this 
error is displayed
> (11:10:44) error sending status

Also, if you activated the twitgin plugin that comes with microblog-purple 
there is a counter displayed in pidgin that counts backwards from 140. (And it 
goes red if you type more than 140 chars....)
