So I could do like--

.msg $chan $notcode(%message)

Specifically because %message might contain Pipes | and one version of a thing a wrote got whacky cause of the pipes int he message.

? if there isn't something I suppose I'll have to work on something different...heh.

if you use the /msg command alone, there is no issue:

Execute that on any channel and the pipe won't be a problem.
Issues occur when you are using vulnerable command, read this
