Re: [Irssi-xmpp-dev] Playing around with the current irssi-xmpp

Hi Mattias,

I know that what you try to do should be the correct behaviour because
it seems normal to use the command /msg to send a message. But you
should use the command /query instead (or its alias /q). So "/query
dummyuser hello" will work as you expect.

It's written somewhere in the documentation. I should highlight this in
the FAQ.

Cheers,
  Colin
