Description Thomas Bruckmaier 2006-01-11 14:32:59 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

if i join an irc channel with a ":" in it, /me doesn't work

if i type "/me bla", the return is:
(14:27:55) b0b_rox0r  bla
(14:27:55) #  :pelikaista.fi.quakenet.org 412 b0b_rox0r :No text to send

you see, the command is succesfully echoed in my chat window, but the others don't get to see anything
the same happens if i use chat->commands->me
other commands like /say work properly, and /me also works without any problems in channels without ":" in their name
i tried other signs like "%", but the bug seems only to "work" with ":"

after all, there's one thing left to say: imho kopete is the best messenger available, so keep up your good work!

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
