| Feb 23, 2023 at 10:30 | comment | added | Greenonline | I may be wrong but I feel as if the crux of this answer is the cut and paste aspect, which avoids the "SrEngineer is typing..." message, which can incur an irritating (especially when you are busy) delay. Even though I agree with the "This could be sent as one message (with or without line breaks)" comments, maybe you could edit your answer to emphasise that the cut and paste avoids the recipient having to see the annoying "X is typing..." message. | |

| Feb 21, 2023 at 12:50 | comment | added | Volker Siegel | @PaŭloEbermann I think sending it in a separate message is a significant difference. | |
| Feb 21, 2023 at 12:18 | comment | added | NotThatGuy | Don't send it in 2 (or more) separate messages, period (unless you cut-and-paste it, but this is unnecessary). It can be quite irritating to open the app after getting a notification, but then still have to wait for some actionable message to appear (or getting multiple notifications when busy with something). FYI: you can add line breaks within the same message in pretty much every IM app (Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Enter are common shortcuts for this), so separate messages doesn't even really have the advantage of looking pretty. | |
