Tags: patch This is in reference to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2022-12/msg00651.html which affects query buffers as well as channels in what will become ERC 5.5 (both Emacs 29 and HEAD). To reproduce from emacs -Q: (require 'erc) (setq erc-modules (remq 'networks erc-modules)) (erc :server "127.0.0.1" :port 6667 :nick "tester") The attached patch tries to address this in a hopefully agreeable manner. Thanks.
