Description

I'm really enjoying Colloquy's elegance, but when discussing it with some coworkers the other day, we realized a common problem: if I copy and paste chat snippets into, say, TextEdit?, then they show up fully formatted, and with some styles at least, no extra space after the closing "]" of a timestamp. This is problematic because there are numerous times we want simple plain text output, yet it isn't easier to attain.

The cludgy workaround is to copy and paste into an app that only supports plaintext, then copy and paste from there into whatever other app.

But adding this would definitely help. Thanx in advance for considering my feature request. :)
