:but if you start with http://www... ICQ doesnt seem to check it and
:messages with 2000 characters were no problem.

I have been playing with this bug a little, and it seems that ICQ only picks
up oversize messages when they are keyed in, and not when they are pasted.
maybe it wouldn't be so bad if this was fixed so that at least the client
couldn't be used to execute this attack. :-/
