i never said i would interpret it any other way than that

i plan to write a little irc proxy which breaks up the join/part messages and rebuilds them in a form mschat can handle probabablly stripping out the reason part completely and sending all join/part messages on to mschat in the form :sender join #channel

anyway rfc1459 is known wrong in some parts rpl-inviting for example and it only claims to be a draft. NOWHERE in rfc1459 is it claimed that rfc1459 is the definitive standard for irc

plugwash clearly doesn't understand the RFC, and thinks about it in the
same broken way as some client coders.
"a b :c" == "a b c" and means: 3 tokens, "a", "b", "c". interpreting it
in any different way is wrong.

beware
