Can (more or less) verify that overflow...

I am running ICQ 99beta 3.1.9 build #2596 and tried to send some MESSAGES
(no, NOT URL)
It seemed that only the messagebox would let you send larger stuff
Couldnt paste a lot into the URL-box

So, with messages...
entered http://www.alotofstuffhere......
I clicked it myself (yep, while entering) and Netscape opened up and ICQ
said byebyes :)
Could reproduce that 4 times in 4 tries
Now, with sending it to other people...
Somehow you cant send normal messages with more than 450 characters or whatever
but if you start with http://www... ICQ doesnt seem to check it and
messages with 2000 characters were no problem.

Gonna try _sending_ messages (and recieve) later when someone appears to be
online on my list :P

Peace out,
