[Erc-help] Possible bug in erc-cmd-QUOTE?

[Aravind G. <ar...@fr...>]

Hi,

I am using the latest erc code from cvs and Emacs version 21.4.1.

I think there might be a problem with the erc-cmd-QUOTE function
definition in the erc.el file.  The definition tries to weed out white
space at the beginning of the quote string passed to the server.
However the regex used fails when there is no leading white space.

Thc following patch fixes this issue (for me).

Aravind.
