Package: gaim
Version: 1:1.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

thanks for maintaining gaim!

I occasionally stumble in this annoyance with /something commands:
suppose I want to send someone a pathname in a message like this:

  "/var/log/syslog: this is the file you have to look at"

Then gaim will print:

  "Command not existent" (or whatever the English version is)

That's fine.  However, I now have to retype all the message, as my
original mistyping is not preserved in the history.  This can be
extremely annoying if what was lost is a long message with a lot of
thinking on it.

It would be better if gaim said:

  "Command not existent: '/var/log/syslog: this is the file you have to look 
at'"

That way I can just copy from the history and paste it in the message
instead of retyping it all from scratch.


Ciao,

Enrico
