in line

-----------------------------------------------------+----------------------
 When I receive text that has words that have asterisks or underscores
 around them, they show up as *bold* or _italic_ respectively. However, if
 the last * or _ is the last character in the line, they show up as
 '''bold*''' or ''italic_''.

 Example input: this is *bold*

 Example output: this is '''bold*'''


 Example input: this is _italic_
 Example output: this is ''italic_''

 If I put a space before ending the line, this does not happen:

 Example input: this is *bold* <-- note there's a space here

 Example output: this is '''bold''' <-- still a space here

 It seems like there's a regex that's not quite working, somewhere. This
 happens using jabber via google talk, but not using MSN messenger.
