Emote Splitter removes the character limit from your chatbox and lets you paste or type as much text as you want. It's designed for roleplayers who like to type a lot, but is totally useful for other everyday use if you just want to send a long message. Normally you can only send chat messages up to 255 characters long. Any message that exceeds this limit is split up into multiple pieces and sent one by one.
Features
Message Verification. Unlike traditional chat-splitting addons, Emote Splitter is MUCH more robust. It queues messages one at a time and verifies that all are sent, so that you don't lose any to the server's chat throttler. This is especially designed for roleplayers who may post a lot of text in /say and /em. Go ahead and paste the whole Bee Movie script and watch it work (but you will likely get a silence penalty).
Battle.net support. Emote Splitter supports Battle.net whispers fully, and even corrects an error that may cause messages appear out-of-order. Simply having Emote Splitter installed will cause any Battle.net whisper addons to function properly in regard to message ordering.
Communities support. Extends the community window's chatbox too.
Message split marks. Ability to automatically add marks where your message was split.
Undo / Emote Saving. Adds Ctrl-Z for easy undo or saving your text if you delete them accidentally. This also saves the text you're typing if your internet poops out!
Lightweight. Near-zero impact on your game's performance.
Additional Information
This addon is compatible with most other addons. If you run into any problems, please create an issue. I usually fix serious problems within 24 hours.
If you're RPing and see someone's emote get cut off by the server, recommend Emote Splitter™!

Shadowlands Update
Anyone knows of an alternative for this addon?
Any word on when this will get updated for Slands Prepatch?
While the addon is marked as out of date, if you allow loading of out of date addons it seems to work just fine for me.
This addon causes issues with Healer Protection.
And perhaps also with Announce Interrupts. (I can't recall, but I'm sure it does.)
Because of the way Emote Splitter queues up messages, I guess, a lot of the messages get stuck in queue. I end up having to manually press enter to get the messages to pop up in chat. This doesn't happen with Emote Splitter disabled.
Is this something that can be fixed?
Can you please, please, PLEASE port this to classic? It is EXTREMELY overdue there, especially for multipost RPers like me and so many I know!!
Where can I get one that works with the latest patch? It doesn't seem to be working for me.
Latest patch messed with Emote Splitter's functionality. Unfortunately this is not a trivial fix unless they revert their changes. I'll be looking into solutions. For now you should avoid posting a lot in /say or /yell. /emote works fine.

Any news on that front? I'm really hoping there's some clever workaround because this and Speakinspell are totally broken and I've never wanted to quit WoW so badly in my life.
This seems bugged after the new update. Often i get the message
Interface action failed because of an Addon
<Chat Failed!>
And then I have to try and remember what I wrote and build on the emote quickly.
In reply to CeciilMistwalker:
best way to remedy that is to alt+up and dissect yuor post from there. it's been happening to me and my friends, too.
This works with Classic as-is, just have to download it and install it manually.
Please let me know when you release a Classic Version of this! I know sometime in the next couple weeks I plan on Role Playing on my down times. I love it on retail, it's very useful.
Curious if there is a Classic version?
Will there be a version for 1.12.1 when Classic gets released?

HELL yeah
Hello,
first of all thank you for that addon, but i found an issues that belongs larger Rolepaying Groups. Can you maybe add Party and Raid Chat to it? It would help splitting the emotes also correctly because the sayed words are highlighted as emote, which is not correct.

I'm not sure to which of you I should reach out, but Misspelled seems to have been abandoned (I think, still works fine though) so I'm trying here with you first.
What happens is that when I use Battlenet chat, not with say, whispers, emotes, or whatever, just between battlenet friends, once I reach the chat limit the next thing I type disappears. Not the whole phrase I had typed, just my next word. If I'm not paying attention I can keep writting for a while and the words just keep on deleting themselves. If i just press enter everything I had typed up to the cutoff point will send correctly but the words lost to the void are gone.
I've narrowed it down to Misspelled causing this.
I've tried deleting the cache, deleting the both addons and the saved variables and re-downloading, but this persists.
