I presume this is optional, so that one can still create clear text messages?

<p>Yes they are stored in the blockchain.</p>

<p>They are limited to 1000 characters.</p>

<p>They do not have encryption built in, but encryption can be built on top. You can view the last 300 messages <a href="http://nxtexplorer.com/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=80&amp;show=300" rel="nofollow">here</a>. You can also use that site to browse through blocks and see the messages embedded in each one.</p>

<p>What is the character limit on these messages?</p>

<p>And are the messages encrypted or publically viewable? If they are public, is there a site to just view all the messages sent?</p>

Yes they are stored in the blockchain.

They are limited to 1000 characters.

They do not have encryption built in, but encryption can be built on top. You can view the last 300 messages [here](http://nxtexplorer.com/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=80&show=300). You can also use that site to browse through blocks and see the messages embedded in each one.
