I've not seen that problem, but I'm getting a SPACE at that spot in any
messages I send using PC-Elm (i.e. it goes out as "polarbear !coneill").
Anything sent out using the Waffle editor is okay.

Can't say I know what's causing this, as everything in my pcelm.rc file looks
normal.  But if you hear what the problem is, I'd sure appreciate hearing
about it because the two sound related.
