Well, maybe I am dumb but I fairly often write my messages to opponents in my notebook by mistake. I have also, twice, messaged my opponent my next few moves by mistake 🙂
If other people have this problem from time to time, maybe something can be done to separate the two a bit. On the other hand, if it's just me, perhaps surgery might help.

I use a piece of paper next to my computer to record game notes and ideas (or analysis so I don't reinvent the wheel).
Have yet to try to send messages to my opponent by writing them out by hand. Or the other way round.

I got this message on black's 18th move in Game 480771
"if his king and queen stay where they are, next move is Nd6. If takes the "sucker capture, I mate on f2."

I always check to make sure it's in the right box before I send it. I can definitely see this happening.
I think it would be funny to send fake notes to your opponent illustrating a complicated, and non-sensical plan. Example: Nh3 then Bxc7 and follow with Ng1 regardless of the move. Mate in 17. They may become intimidated.
Or if you're playing a close friend, to mess with them, you could "accidentally" send a message like this: Man, I knew he was bad, but I didn't think he'd fall for that. Remeber Qe5+ and you win easily.
