When using the web client for Rocket.Chat, I cannot send long text messages. When I try, I only get an error message.

Instead of this error message, I expected a more helpful response from Rocket.Chat, something like "This message is too long. Should I send it as a file attachment instead?"

This is adjustable from the admin panel, there a maximum message length can be set. So ask your Rocket.Chat admin to adjust this setting or send it as txt file.

Thanks for the suggestion. Would it be worthwhile nevertheless to offer the option of sending the long text as an attachment?

i've converted the title to something more along the lines of a feature request

Hi! I'm motivated to work on this feature out. As soon as possible I'll send a PR with my implements suggestion.

Anyone have any more ideas about how it should be, besides what has already been commented?
