Then place two lines of text in an empty text file, with leading spaces, and hit enter at the end of each. Then copy to clipboard and paste them to yourself in pm.

Results:
Code:
[3:20:02] <SomeNick>    three spaces
[3:20:02] <SomeNick>   two spaces
[3:20:02] <SomeNick>    three spaces
[3:20:02] <SomeNick>   two spaces


Note that the first pair are me pasting the text into the query window, and the second are as recieved back from the server and shown by mirc.

Even when inline typing and hitting enter, leading spaces are not lost.

The bottom line is that the whole consequtive spaces / leading spaces issue with mirc is related entirely to the scripting engine, if your not manipulating the text as it goes out of comes in in any way then such spaces wont be lost.
