1. /alias testcolors msg Hannibal %C04 test
2. /testcolors
3. from(Hannibal) <red>test</red>

(Obviously the <red></red> means it was in red, not that it had that stuff around it. But you get the point)

Please test properly. This does not 'work' if you /actually/ add an alias with a %-code in it.

Comment 3

[Glen Mailer]

Just a note for clarification, this bug occurs when an alias is created from the pref window.

Comment 4

Entering  (ETX) character into the Pref>List instead of % works.
(Of course, getting it in may be a problem.)
The /alias command IS easier to use and the result does end up in you Prefs.
