some time ago I posted a question on the Discord channel, which never received a reply. it seems Discord is the wrong place to ask technical questions so I hope this is the right place. here’s my posting:

> greetings everyone. I don’t see a developer channel on this server so I’ll ask my question here: is it possible to attach a message to a transaction? I don’t see a parameter for it in the `namada.new_transfer()` method
> 
> also, I’ve spent a little time on the github repo looking for where this method is defined but haven’t readily found it. hints?  
> oops. found it: [namada/sdk/src/lib.rs at 74d412e1484936c0f5c7c563d14a1fcd245ee3b1 · anoma/namada · GitHub](https://github.com/anoma/namada/blob/74d412e1484936c0f5c7c563d14a1fcd245ee3b1/sdk/src/lib.rs#L150)
> 
> any chance we might associate a message with a transfer?
