Messages

Timestamp events

This option timestamps various types of incoming/outgoing messages with the current time and date, using the format found in $asctime().

Strip codes

This allows you to strip out the Control Codes codes from incoming private messages or channel messages.

Ctcp finger reply

The message a user receives when they /ctcp finger you.

Quit message

The message displayed to other users when you quit IRC.

Split long channel/query messages

If you type a message that is long enough that it might be chopped by the maximum message length allowed by a server, this option makes mIRC split the message into several smaller messages to make sure that it is sent intact.

UTF-8 encode/decode messages

By default, all messages are UTF-8 encoded, which allows all languages to be exchanged on IRC. If this option is disabled, messages will not be UTF-8 encoded.
