Messages

Sends a new message with the currently authenticated user as the sender. The XML for the new message is returned on a successful request.

The valid types are:

• TextMessage (regular chat message),
• PasteMessage (pre-formatted message, rendered in a fixed-width font),
• SoundMessage (plays a sound as determined by the message, which can be either “rimshot”, “crickets”, or “trombone”),
• TweetMessage (a Twitter status URL to be fetched and inserted into the chat)

Newline characters are ignored for TextMessages. In order to include newlines inside of a PasteMessage, use this escape code:
