Actually, rcirc+bitlbee+multi-line-messages work just fine, as long as you use separate rcirc buffers for each user/conversation (instead of multiplexing the "channel" buffer) -- and since this usage is closer to conventional IM usage (AIM clients etc), I suspect most users of rcirc+bitlbee do this anyway (I certainly do). Indeed my objections to Nic's patch have to do with not screwing up this usage. I suspect the fix is probably simple enough, like simply using Nic's change only in "channel" buffers, but for this release it's probably good enough to document the problem and mention the easy workaround (use separate conversation buffers); I'm not sure where to document it though... -Miles -- The car has become... an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete.
