Subject: [PATCH gridirc] don't require PRIVMSGs to have a colon
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When relaying an IRC message to gridchat, everything up to and including
the first colon is stripped:

	PRIVMSG #chat :hello there

becomes

	humm → hello there

If a message does not contain whitespace, it need not start in a colon,
though:

	PRIVMSG #chat hello

would get relayed as

	humm → PRIVMSG chat hello
