Speech alias

I'm asking this on behalf of someone else, so I haven't tested this myself. Anyway, I want to make an alias that could be used for speech. Basically, I want it to do something like this.

say This is a massively bad idea.
Wolfeman mutters under his breath "This is a massively bad idea."

I assumed that the alias would be:

Alias: say *
Send: emote mutters under his breath "%1"

Apparently this doesn't work (like I said, I haven't tested it myself yet). I'm thinking it might be because of the way the asterisk works as a wildcard, but don't know any more than that. Could someone give me some ideas about how to make this work?

No, that should work. I just tested it myself.

In your example make sure you do *not* check "regular expression" because that one is not.
