Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Is it possible to get this to work for the privatemsg module as well? Maybe someone would be willing to write a patch?

nymo commentedI needed to be able to limit the max number of characters allowed for privatemsg as well, so i patched the maxlength module to provide
hook_maxlength_form_fields.I then worked on the Privatemsg Maxlength Integration module to make use of that hook.

cedeweyThe Drupal 6 version of Maxlength is no longer supported so I'm marking this Closed (works as designed).
I also encourage you, if you haven't already, to upgrade your site to Drupal 8/9. We are actively maintaining that version and you would enjoy all of the other features of the latest version of Drupal.
