 * Much of this is a copy paste from skyrim wiki.
-*Message boxes have a 1023 character limit, any longer and Skyrim will crash to desktop when attempting to display the message. This limit is based on the number of characters entered into the editor, including numerical formatting characters and quest text substitution tags.
-*The display time is ignored by the game. Messages remain on the screen for the same time as Debug.Notification messages, regardless of the value set.
