For example, there is a user named: Joe Dae.
The command /msg Joe Dae Hello! will not work.

It's not discoverable, though. Needs to be added somehow in the /help message, I'm not sure how to make it clear without being too verbose.

Just add quotes around user is not enough? /msg "user" message: send a private message

I've tried, and the extra punctuation makes the help message too noisy for my taste.

@jech jech changed the title /msg command is not working when the username contains space /msg "user" is not discoverable Mar 15, 2021

tab autocomplete ?! cough cough
That would help even in cases of long single-word usernames.

I'd accept a patch that does that.
