[Kopete] /me function from Psi

Most of my contacts use windows and some of them at least use jabber, Psi.
Psi has a feature that if you write "/me", it gets replaced by your username and the message is like an event.

Is it possible to do something similar with the Alias plugin?

There is a plugin to replace Text... like misspelled words.
You can set it up to replace "/me" with your Nickname - for workaround.

But that doesn't make any sense, I find references all over the place to Kopete supporting the /me command. Many of the most popular styles explicitly support it, too. Hell, the default one does! Just go into the options and look at the example chat, "Jack performed an action" and all. And yet I'm having this problem too, nothing seems to trigger any style I use to display text as "Person is blah blah" instead of "Person: /me is blah blah" or such.

Weirdly though this is the only post anywhere I could find anyone asking about this problem, and I find it even trippier that someone is saying that it isn't explicitly possible when Kopete itself seems to directly say that it is in the options! And every query I make on google about Kopete and the /me command only seems to confirm the assumption that it works! For instance, I dug this out of lists.kde.org:

To be perfectly honest this is actually my one big gripe with Kopete . . . I know, it seems like a minor quibble, but after years of using /me on IRC and Trillian and nearly every Jabber client . . . but it should work, shouldn't i?
