Hey Carlos!

Of course!

I am also keeping the config editor mod in place, for this very reason. However, it's now much easier to reply and not have to worry about filling in the name you're replying to manually every time. Now, you only have to do it if you're forcing it to someone else, or as you said, want to direct a /new/ message to someone besides "All".

Thanks for catching this, and an amazing, informative description! I had asked DM about this a while back, but I couldn't describe it nearly as well, or find where in the code it was causing it not to work, like you did. So I left it alone and went with what I was doing with TB, because I would have made a fool of myself trying to report it while just getting at stuff. ;)

Regards,
Nick
