This should be what you're looking for:

/bind enter "afk [Witty Comment]$$startchat"

This was it. Many thanks!!!

A couple of people I've teamed with have had an intriguing bind or macro set up on their characters, but I forgot to ask one of them about it and the other wasn't sure how they did it.

Basically, what it does is display an afk-style message above their toon whenever they are typing a message in the chat window. Once done typing, the afk message disappears. It is only present while the chat window is accepting input.

How is this done? This is cool, and I couldn't find the bind on the boards (though I'm sure it's here somewhere).

Any help would be appreciated.

Fellow heroes, disturbing information has come to light. Thanks to the hard work at the Federal Bureau of Super Powered Affairs and the Portal Corporation, we have discovered an odd energy signature throughout Paragon City. Researchers believe that this aetheric energy appears to be building towards a climax at some point in the near future. We believe that this will occur at some point over the next several days, but the authorities are not yet sure. All heroes should be on the look out for anything strange in the city. Be on guard; we have reason to believe that this bodes ill for our metropolis.

Damn you, Statesman!! DAMN YOU!! Even your official announcements are an enigma. (What's the plural of "enigma" anyway? Enigmi?)

You're starting to remind me of the guy in charge of the Homeland Security Department, Tom Ridge. "I don't know where. I don't know when. But something very bad is going to happen!"

Perhaps an event on par with the Rikti Invasion of Beta? I'll be MOST impressed if that's the case. I was JUST starting to get a tad bored with the game, and now, "They pull me back in!!"
