I can only send short messages

[Steven Shown]

Every time I try to send an IM that is anywhere over about 5 or 6 words long, I get an error message that says that the message could not be sent because it is too long. Is there any way to correct this problem? Every other IM client I have used does not have this issue and it is a big problem for me, as I don't like having to send 3 or  4 separate messages just to say what I can normally say with 1. I would really appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you for your time.
