Oddly, this is the ONLY thing I think HipChat has ever done sanely.

I've been using sed expressions for almost three decades to alert my fellow chatters of an error in my previous message.

The first time I did that in HipChat... It edited my previous message. I nearly fell off my chair. It was and is probably my favorite HipChat feature.

s/favorite/favourite/ for my English fellow humans. :)

It's fine to have that way of editing as an option or an easter egg but, to have it as the only way of editing a message? No. Just no.
