I was thinking that I sometimes type a message in an IM field to someone, and the system tells me my message is too long. Perhaps an idea is to show the number of characters you can use and the number you have used, as well as the number of characters that can be used... maybe the same way it's done in the NotePad?
Another idea is that if you send a message that is too long, the system automatically breaks it up into two messages. (sort of the way it's done with SMS on mobile phones) Maybe with the first message saying 'continued' at the bottom, or something similar.
I don't know if either of these things are possible, but I think they would be good ideas.

Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
my life's a mess
But I'm having a good time.
