Also, where is the difference between a message which has a stub of ":irc.openprojects.net 372", and a message which has a stub of ":FUNDRAISING!foo@irc.openprojects.net NOTICE"? The client decides how to display both messages; the protocol does not even pretend to tell the client what to do with them. If your client displays one in a silly or inconvinient manner, get a better client. Mine puts messages exactly where I tell it to. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
