No matter which format I use, I always get this. I am using a valid
username to send the message to. Sending the same message to the same
user via the web works well.

Thanks!

If this was this morning, it might have had something to do with the
"Snafu!" 500 messages I was seeing in TTYtter.

This is still going on today. I get mostly 500, and sometimes 302.
Every once in a while the server also disconnects without a reply.

Can someone confirm that they are able to use the direct message API
to send messages?

Many thanks,
