Getting a Macro to say something in the chat

So I've got a pretty simple problem. I've got a Query macro to notify when I'm changing equipment. I want to choose an option on the list, then spit out a "/me" message on the chat. That's it. Nothing else is going on here. The thing is, when I select an option, instead of outputting the fancy "Aslo stows his shield" with the different box, it just puts out /me stows his shield. in the chat. What's going wrong here? I even tried nesting a macro that would just do a /me command, and while the macro would work fine on it's own, it couldn't seem to work while within the query. What's up with this?
post the macro
?{Swap Equipment:|Equip Spear and Shield, /me equips his spear and shield! May his enemies quiver!|Equip Spear(2-handed), /me grips his spear in two hands! This time with gusto!|Equip Crossbow, /me pulls out his crossbow! Danger form afar!|Equip Shield, /me dons his shield! The defensive option!|Stow Spear and Shield, /me stows his spear and shield. This is not the time for close quarters.|Stow Spear, /me stows his spear. Time for a different approach|Stow Crossbow, /me stows his crossbow. No bolts will fly. For now.|Stow Shield, /me stows his shield. It was just getting in the way.} Here it is ^
Put /me first.  So... /me ?{Change to:|Spear & Shield, equips his spear and shield|etc, et al}
Thanks a bunch! It works perfectly now.
