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.
