Break apart long messages

Description

I often try to send messages that are too long for the server to accept. I then have to break the message into smaller chunks and try to send those. Sometimes those are too long too and I have to try again. Could someone make a plugin to automatically break long messages into shorter ones and send those?

Ideally it should obey IM speed limits that may be in place by servers and prefer to break at linebreaks or word breaks. Maybe it could offer a preview of where the breaks will occur (text box with dashed horizontal lines at break points?) and allow the user to adjust as necessary. Could maybe integrate the break point preview directly into text-entry for the conversation, or style over-the-limit text in red as a warning.
