        Hello...I've noticed something about relay, and wanted to ask
        if anyone here experiences the same thing, and also was hoping
        Valdis could offer a suggestion.  Anything I send to relay
        (I use PURCCVM (purdue)) that begins with a * is ignored.
        If I /m someone with a * it goes through, but if I'm on a channel
        and I send a *hug* It will not get through to the others.

        I tested this two ways.  First, I did *not* use any chat program.
        I did this from my VAX prompt.  I sent the following lines:

        1) test
        *2) test
        3) test

        And only 1 and 3 went though to the other person.

        Then I sent directly to make sure it was relay and not my system
        and the person got all 3 lines.  Therefore, relay is crunching
        anything that begins with an * (and this happened with others,
        not just me)  Suggestions? Observations? Explanations?
