   I'm not using Synchronet's ircd.  I bypass all that and use UnRealIRCD and just   
   use Synch's client to access it from the board.

   The /me will indeed post what you had above.. the "* nickHere blah blah blah"   
   will show up but added spaces are stripped.  If you entered: "/me hello       
   hello     hello" you see: * )\/(ark hello hello hello

   We were able to do that in the old days of CIS in the CB Simulator using   
   ProComm+.  We'd linewrap as to create a separate line and start it with a  to simulate a dropped private messages. Usually embarrass the hell out of   
   someone... but the real dropped sends were the best.  Horny bunch back then.     
      
   mIRC as a clint is extremely versitle when it comes to writing popups, remotes   
   and aliases.  You may have had a specialized script.
