Thank you jaytea.

Possibly mirc's author should consider for future builds to use a default newline of ANYCRLF as well as the backslash-R option of anycrlf

I find those improve PCRE's default behavior in the Windows environment. Coincidentally they and their pattern override counterparts were implemented in PCRE in the last few years based on my own suggestions. cool

Of course if multiline processing is rarely if ever used it wouldn't matter very much. And in any event the pattern overrides are available to the user since mirc is using a recent PCRE version.
