problem with some characters in user names

[sPiLiTz (matt)]

* /sockopen: invalid parameters (line 256, msn.mrc)

when you try to open a conversation with someone that has "<" or ">" in their msn name

also wondering, since those chars were able to make the script error, that its probably possible for someone to put mirc script in their nick name and totally pwn someone running msn4mirc..

Indeed.

The script is quite primitive in the way that it finds out who you are trying to talk to, this is one of the problems. I'll have a look at fixing it once and for all, it's been bugging me for a while.

I thought long and hard about this, I concluded that there was no way your computer could be made to connect to anyone, or any commands run in mIRC.

You're safe!
