I use =3D when I don't want NCV to parse and : when I want it to parse. Hence=
 the commented lines in the html page.

Anyway, anyone know why NCV behaves so badly ?

If you can change the message sent to hobbit, you could change the ":"=20
and / or "=3D" outside the NCV lines into ":"  respectively "=".=20
In  perl scripts, I  use the following line to  prevent  misinterpretation:
     $Msg=3D~ s/:/:/g ;  $Msg=3D~ s/=3D/=/g ;
(assuming that the status message without NCV is assembled in $Msg).

HTH,

That's an interesting solution but sadly impossible in these cases as the mes=
sages are generated by Devmon
