"Text Above Characters Head While Chatting"

Hello All, does anyone know the command to get text to appear in black and white above your head while chatting?

Thanks in advance

afk

More specifically use this:
/bind enter "startchat$$afk Message to be displayed above head."

Exactly. With the above bind, when one presses Enter to begin typing, the AFK message of one's choice will appear above the character's head until Enter is hit again, which turns off the AFK message when the chat is sent. Can't remember who came up with it, but very clever.

May I also point out that this is an acceptable way to get text with your powers without spamming the Team chat or Local chat channels.

You can Macro stuff like "afk Fortitude greatly boosts your Accuracy, Damage, and Defense.$$powexec_name Fortitude".

or "afk $target is my debuff Anchor - kill him last please!$$powexec_name Radiation Infection"

The text will appear non-obtrusively above your head, but not in the chat window.

Strikes a nice balance between providing your team with useful info and monopolizing the chat window, even with Local tells.

Holy Necro Batman. Although, it does bring back memories. I'd almost forgotten about that incident.
