Impossible ICQ question! PLEASE HELP!

[Guest]

I have ICQ 2000b (latest build) and I wnat to know if there is anything I can do in order to eliminate the retarded 450-character limit on messages? I know a couple of ICQ users who can send me messages that have more than 1200 characters in them, but I can't exceed 450 without being asked to reduce the number of characters.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

It doesn't matter. Just click "okay" and if the recipient is using an up-to-date-enough version, all will be fine.

There is no "Ok." I have the choice between "Edit Message," which returns me to the message, so I can trim it, while the other button is "Send as e-mail," which sends me to another screen that makes it possible for me to send an e-mail via ICQ with the contents of the message. That's not what I want, though.

Thanks for your quick response, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as an "Ok" button in this scenario.

Hm... that's weird. I'm still using 2000a (I refuse to upgrade; I regretted it when I upgraded from 99b!), so that might be where the difference is. Not sure though.
The only button I get, when I enter more than 450 characters to an offline user or older client, is the "Okay" button. I also get a check box which disables that warning from ever popping up again.
Sorry, couldn't help you here...
