okay here's an example that just happened.

pasted directly from the query window:

<wingblah> hi how are you tonight?
<TX-Aggie96> fine and you?
<wingblah> pretty good. are you m or f?
<TX-Aggie96> cool!!
<TX-Aggie96> m
<wingblah> shux, me too
<wingblah> unless you got a sister or something
<TX-Aggie96> nope. if i did i'd be hitting on her right about now!!
<wingblah> a sister? tsk tsk
<TX-Aggie96> you take what you can get!!
<wingblah> not me
No such nick/channel


what appears in TX-Aggie96.log after Buffer-->Save As...


Start of TX-Aggie96 buffer: Sun May 29 14:28:07 2005

note that the line

<TX-Aggie96> you take what you can get!!

does not appear in the brand new saved buffer file.

I hope the problem is clear to everyone now.
