AFAIK thats not possible. However, It would be fairly simple to write a
trigger to catch tells, write them to a file, and then a macro to read
the file after the fight to see if you missed anything.

;  maybe something like this will do the trick?

/dev -mregexp -t"^(a-zA-Z) tells you " catch_tells = \
   /echo -aBCwhite -=-=-=-= I GOT A TELL! =-=-=-=- %;\
   /let message=time() --> %{P1} : %{PR} %;\
   /test fwrite(%{message}, your_favorite_file)

/dev read_tells = \
  /let myfile=tfopen() %;\
  /if ({myfile} > -1) \
    /while (tfread({myline},{myfile})) \
      /echo %{myline} %;\
    /done %;\
  /endif


DISCLAMER: the above is untested and written out of ignorance (i've
never used tfio before, so its probably all wrong :) hopefully it will
serve as a conceptual illustration though.

anyone, feel free to correct the code above if its screwy.
