in the default client, how do you send a message though blockchain

[the founder]

I believe there used to be a way to send a message though the blockchain though the default client,  is that still there?

I too am curious.

I don't think that there has ever been a way to send a message "through the blockchain" through bitcoin-qt or any other standard client although perhaps it is possible to attach some extra data to a tx which then is discarded by the miners?

I think there's a way to do a custom send and attach a message to a transaction although I think miners are free to reject those.

Pretty sure this was talked about recently (2 months ish) and is going to be happening in one of the next patches.
