Bug #39
Handle messages longer than 512 bytes
0%
Description
The IRC protocol limits the size of a single message to 512 bytes. If we'd like to send longer messages, we therefore have to split. Preferably we should try to find a sensible spot for the split (i.e. a word boundary), rather than just cutting off at byte 511, as WeeChat currently does it.

Still need to take into account the length of our hostmask (right now we have hardcoded a value), which should be easily available from our self IrcUser. Also we should issue a regular WHO on self to keep our own hostmask updated (might change without notice). Since autoWHO will probably be optional at some point, we shouldn't rely on that.

Konversation has such a logic to split up the chatmessages to avoid the 512 byte limit :)
