There are a lot of things possible. I'm happy with mIRC just breaking for invalid nicks, but if Khaled is really bored he could add a check before failing "not enough parameters" if there are 2 params, treating the first param as nickname and the second param as message.
I think it'd boring to mess with this and just call make mIRC break so that BNC software fixes it on their end. SBNC should use asterisk instead of hyphen, like ZNC does.
