Message 47 characters too long

[Vicki Brown]

I'm getting errors now from Twerp 4 (that I didn't get from twerp 3)
that my message is "47 characters too long"

Yes, it's over 140 chars (it's re-tweeting a message plus adding the
link to that message). But that doesn't matter. Twitter doesn't care.

See http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=26 for docs
How long can my updates be?
We have a 140 character limit on Twitter updates. If your update
is longer than
that, the full update will post to the web where it can be viewed
in its entirety.
We'll still send the truncated version: only the first 140
characters will go to
phones and IM.

The full update will post to the web. See
http://twitter.com/twikifriends/statuses/856942112
for proof. It's actually quite well-handled on the Twitter side. I'm impressed.

I was very happy with this before. I don't want to rework my script
to truncate the post when I don't have to (afa Twitter is concerned.)
And I'm rather loathe to try to go in and edit the Python. :(

Please turn that check off. Or make it an option for people who care.

Thank you.
