[This is a "wishlist" bug report for Emacs IRC client package ERC. This message includes a patch that fully implements my wish.] ERC displays various server response messages with timestamps. The timestamp formats that are hard-coded to ERC code have some unnecessary variation. Also, it's sometimes even unclear what is the day component and what is the month component (due to YY/MM or MM/YY differences). I suggest making those server response timestamp formats customizable and having the default value in international "%Y-%m-%d %T" format (as parsed by `format-time-string' function). This message includes a patch that fully implements this (I believe).
