Ha, no, I meant the URL. I couldn't get there but it seemed
you got it.

But you mention a fair point. Your client is possibly
under-featured with respect to fortified banners not the
least...

That's erc-fill-static in erc-fill-function. But "Original
value was actually ‘erc-fill-variable’"

Hm, interesting, I also think that is better!

Can you find it here?

erc-fill-function is a variable defined in ‘erc-fill.el’.
Its value is ‘erc-fill-static’
Original value was ‘erc-fill-variable’

  This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
  You can customize this variable.

Documentation:
Function to use for filling messages.

Variable Filling with an ‘erc-fill-prefix’ of nil:

<shortnick> this is a very very very long message with no
	    meaning at all

Variable Filling with an ‘erc-fill-prefix’ of four spaces:

<shortnick> this is a very very very long message with no
    meaning at all

Static Filling with ‘erc-fill-static-center’ of 27:

		<shortnick> foo bar baz
	 <a-very-long-nick> foo bar baz quuuuux
		<shortnick> this is a very very very long message with no
			    meaning at all

These two styles are implemented using ‘erc-fill-variable’ and
‘erc-fill-static’.  You can, of course, define your own filling
function.  Narrowing to the region in question is in effect while your
function is called.
