An IRCD does not allow you to send empty PRIVMSG's (several spaces with nothing else is concidered empty by the server). So why should a client like mirc even attempt to send a privmsg with an empty text token (the protocol rfc requires the token, its not optional, and spaces-only is never concidered a valid token since they are the delimiters)
both "/raw privmsg SomeNick :" and "/raw privmsg SomeNick : " correctly return a 'No text to send' response from the ircd. It would be silly for mirc to send a raw, through an event, that it knows is wrong.
PS. You are completely wrong, the point or existance of /raw and /quote has absolutely nothing to do with 'breaking the protocol standard'
If it is that important for you to even try and send an empty privmsg, then script it.
on *:INPUT:#: if (!$1) { /echo -a nothing to send but lets force it to send an empty raw anyway | /raw PRIVMSG # : }
