   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.
