Huh? You're confused. The RFC says that if there's a :, then all text following the colon, even field separators (white space), is part of the final argument. In other words, : is a sentinel for the last argument in a command. > And theres exactly the same `issue' for clients rejoining during a split - > I forget which way around it is but a normal client join and a netsplit > join are different - one is : prefixed, the other is not. *sigh* not too surprising--they're generated by different routines in the source. I hope to be able to consolidate these in the future. -- Kevin L. Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
