Breaking rich format when sending +4000 characters #83

Closed marcelo321 closed 3 years ago

marcelo321 commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but when sending over 4k characters, the rich formats breaks and the message it's sent like this:

message1: `(3) message

message2: abcabc `(3)

so the rich format doesn't work and looks a bit ugly

This is the known issue and caused by the limitation of the slack API. For now, I don’t have any ideas handling this issue in better ways. If you know that the input can exceed 4000 characters, I recommend you to use -f option which sends the input as a file.

Thanks, yeah I thought it had to do with the limit of the api
