I break up my messages, as do many people.

Do you do so with the expectation that they might arrive out of order, or one fails?

[Spivak]

Out of order no, failing and having to manually re-send which makes it out of order is acceptable.

[kelnos]

I find that unacceptable and frustrating, personally. If a message fails to send, I want the client to hold back any later messages until the failed message is resolved somehow. It should auto-retry and (hopefully) eventually succeed, or I can manually delete it and "release" the following messages.

I do so with the expectation that they should arrive in order if no one fails, but apparently it is "debatable" if this is a reasonable expectation
