No, it doesn't.

Indeed. I've done some tests and WinPoint has no problem with long messages --
it only gets a bit slow when displaying one of those.

Those messages were already broken in the .PKT that the tosser at my node
generated for this point (it was a rescan for FIDOTEST).

Sorry, and thank you for your support.
