58 </I>><i> RFC1459 (the IRC protocol spec) specifies that /notice should be used for

60 </I>><i> automatic reply to a /notice, so as to avoid reply loops. Hence, /msg
61 </I>><i> would be *incorrect* for replies from services, being both a protocol
62 </I>><i> violation and possibly leading to message loops if a reply from services
63 </I>><i> triggers a reply from someone's script.
65 </I>><i> This question has been asked many times, and the answer is always that it
66 </I>><i> won't be changed. I suggest looking into modifications to your IRC client
67 </I>><i> or a script for your IRC client that corrects the reasons why you want it
68 </I>><i> as a /msg instead of as a /notice instead.
