    Is it possible to increse the amount of charactes you can use when sending mail in-game? If it is it would be a great thing to do because it will make it easier to send mail and the reciever would have to /mail read before he sees the message so it won't be really considered spam if the text is a bit longer because it won't disrupt chat otherwise. Its really annoying to have to write 2 or 3 messages just because there is a character limitations and you can't really spam someone with mail because they can delete it. Besides the command alone /mail send [username] takes like 1/3 of the characters you have so it would be more convinient to increase them. I don't really know exactly how many characters you can type in but if they are doubled for mail it would be good enough.

    The amount of characters you can use is limited to the length of your chat line thing which ECC has no control over. If you really want this, you'll have to take it up with Mojang or Microsoft or whoevers calling he shots now.

    I'm not really sure that is the case because I can always get in a few words in the chat line after i have reached the end of it and I have played on another servers that I could fit a small romance novel in the chat before it cuts you off.

    I think the easy option for this is to simply send more than 1 mail if you have something to say. Alternatively, you could forum PM them :)

    AFAIK it is limited because of the way minecraft handles chat messages. Increasing this would require custom coding that messes with some of the basic vanilla mechanics I assume, so most likely not possible until somebody with more knowledge about it corrects me. :)

    Yeah I know about those options but I still think it would be more convinient that way. But if you guys can't do it im not gonna push it.

    How would mail spam work? It would be longer spam messages I guess but you can always delete them and even now you can spam but when its in the mail the person can delete them and if the reciever doesn't read his mail there won't be any messages to spam him.

    This is correct.
    Partially correct. It would require a server side mod and a client side mod.
