[Erc-help] public /away

[Bruno H. <br...@ya...>]

Hi

I'm currently experimenting with erc and very happy with
it. Occasionally though questions arise.

One concerns /away and public visibility of corresponding
messages. More specifically, when leaving with a message
like '/away coffee' other clients like xchat issue a gone
message of the kind '* nick is away: coffee'.

I found out already that the back message is there and
controlled by a predicate (public-away), but a superficial
inspection of the erc sources gave me the impression that
provisions of a gone message, which I think is the more
important since I can start talking when being back but not
after leaving, are missing.

So - any plans for that or hints how I could implement it
myself? I'm not much acquainted with the irc protocol but
hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult .... (?)

Thanks a lot
Bruno
