Nice! I want to put this into shoutbox eventually, but I'll have to majorly refactor the parsing first... I'll steal your code then 
(nah I'll give you creds)
haha its like, one line of code go for it 
Looked at your code for a bit, adding your own hook into core first eh
Hahaha, that's one of the advantages of being a core dev... I suppose that's why our plugins only count on weekends 
Been thinking and I suppose it's best if I just use filter:messaging.parse as well for the shoutbox. That way it's also easily expandable by plugin
Edit:
On closer inspection might not be such a good idea as I originally thought Will be tricky with the uids, seeing as with shouts you only have 1...
Edit2:
Got it working
