You can use this as a starting point. It'll just pastie the entire thing and give it as a "see full text" link to see the entire thing. Beats sending separate messages which gets annoying and has its own issues (lag, and the throttle on how many messages you can send per minute).

I think you got the wrong commit link there (?).

I guess though you're using the trick where you if you have a newline character, it bypasses the limit. The problem with that, for us, is that with the !!weather command, there's an inherent amount of formatting needed. Run the command, e.g. !!weather JFK for a demo of what I mean.
