On Android, we restrict logging of the text field to the first 99
characters. But, of course, there are many other fields. If there is a long
title, maybe the text is in a multi-byte code set, then it could be that
the total message gets too long.
Ideally, we would look at the total message length, but that's much harder
to implement.

Marcel, do you know by how much we are over the limit?
