 Sometime you see an unlucky wording or just a typo that is not corrected
 by the spell checker just after you press <Enter>.[[BR]]
 It would be useful to be possible to rectify this by typing a new message
 with a special syntax.[[BR]]
 Probably the vim substitute command will be just enough.

 For example you type:
 > ''You are stupid.''
 but you just realize that actually you wanted to say is:
 > ''You are the smartest person.''
 The only thing that you do is just type:
 > ''s/stupid/the smartest person''
 and the previous line is ameliorated.


 The IM-clients that doesn't support this feature will simply display the
 line as it is, and the partner probably will understand what is meant
 anyway.

 Some options could also be added:[[BR]]
 - the replace operation limited to the last 3 send messages.[[BR]]
 - the new text highlighted for 2 sec. so that the discussion partner see
 that something changed.
