+From [[Slouken]]:
+* The combined length of message plus prefix can be at most 254 characters.
+* The message will be unaffected by inebriation.
+* Messages sent to "RAID" when not in a raid will be delivered as if it had been sent as a "PARTY" message.
+* Using "RAID" or "PARTY" when not in a party or raid sends no message.
-: Fires the Event [[Events_C#CHAT_MSG_ADDON|CHAT_MSG_ADDON]]
-: The combined length of message plus prefix can be at most 254 characters.
+* Calling this function results in the event [[Events/C#CHAT_MSG_ADDON|CHAT_MSG_ADDON]] being invoked on ''other'' client machines in the PARTY, RAID, BATTLEGROUND or GUILD.
-: The message will be unaffected by inebriation.
+* The prefix cannot include a tab character ("\t") as it's used as a delimiter between the prefix and the text when the message is sent from the client.  When the message is recieved by other clients, it's broken back in to two peices in the client and the sent to lua.  Using a tab character in the text may be acceptable, but is unadvised.
-: Messages sent to "RAID" when not in a raid will be delivered as if it had been sent as a "PARTY" message.
+* If you want to send messages inbetween your battleground group you will need to use "BATTLEGROUND" instead of "RAID" or "PARTY".
-: Using "RAID" or "PARTY" when not in a party or raid sends no message.
+* "Send'''Addon'''Message" isn't a typo, using "Send'''AddOn'''Message" will not work.
-: (From [[Slouken]])
-: note from psycoparrot, it seems thst ascII 10 codes (linefeeds) in the text get you disconnected
+* it seems that ASCII 10 codes (thats the linefeed, or \n character) in the text get you disconnected (note from [[User:Psycoparrot|psycoparrot]])
