The fix for this is to parse through the message when it is saved and
remove all color codes unless the person is an immortal or has a flag that
allows the to do color or whatever logic you want to use.
I do that with the enhanced editor. When an entry gets saved, it scans
through the entire thing and replaces all ~ with ^ so that my ASCII pfiles
and world files don't get screwed up by errant ~'s.
