    Hello,
    
    thanks for reporting that problem.
    
    I will solve this by appending a key checksum to the end of
    each line. Example:
    
    [B]text text text <1255>
    
    The key checksum is part of the encrypted text. If it 
    doesnt match for the user, he can be sure the text
    is spoofed. Filtering special characters is no good
    solution for that problem. It would need a 
    full parse of every line entered, this would consume
    too many resources.
    
    The fix will be released soon.
    
    Greetings,
    psychoid
