Now, Maybe my memory is faulty, but I seem to remember iChat used to be far more liberal with both it's available status messages and it's away status messages in terms of how many characters you could use(and would be displayed)

but lately, it seems as though iChat only allows maybe 25 characters for each.

so, there hasn't been an update(except for maybe security updates) that would affect iChat in a while. I'm pretty sure it must have always truncated after a certain length.

So, I recently got a couple friends using iChat and they really like the available status messages, they use them a lot and enjoy the feature. But they keep coming to me 'can you read the whole thing?" and inevitably I can't

So, what I'm wondering is, is there anyway to nullify the character count for truncating messages? I was thinking it might be in the terminal or something like that?

this is iChatAV 2.1 on all computers, 2 are running 10.3.4, I'm running 10.3.5

And Adium doesn't support available status messages yet or I would have already tried that.
