Feature request: Split long messages. #1545

Open clort81 opened 2 years ago

clort81 commented 2 years ago

Overview

uTox version: 0.18.1
Operating system: any
Desktop Environment/Window Manager (Linux/BSD only): any

Issue

Pasting messages with lots of UTF-8 results in too long messages > 500 bytes TOX_ERR_CONFERENCE_SEND_MESSAGE_TOO_LONG

The message length may not exceed TOX_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH. Larger messages
must be split by the client and sent as separate messages. Other clients can
then reassemble the fragments.

It might be nice to have uTox split too-long messages into multiple messages (at line breaks). IRC clients have code that does this (e.g. irssi)
