  34 <PRE>    Hi All,
  35 First.. Yes I've read the FA*Q
  36 *
  37
  38 &lt;--Begin Paste
  39 C.7. How can I make Services send replies using PRIVMSG (/msg) instead
  40 of NOTICE?
  41 You can't. RFC 1459 (the IRC protocol definition) requires that all
  42 automated clients send all replies using NOTICE rather than PRIVMSG, and
  43 Services follows that requirement. If you want to change how Services
  44 replies appear in your IRC client, change your client's settings.
  45 End Paste--&gt;
  46
  47 I'd like to know how I can change the code to make ***Serv to reply in
  48 PRIVMSG/NOTICE as per user request. I understand the reason for making
  49 the default per RFC standard but I've seen some services that still use
  50 MSG and some that allow the user to choose how they want the bot to
  51 reply. Beyond IRC services is one of those networks that comes to mind.
  52 Unfortunately their source is not available. They allow you to use a SET
  53 RESPONSE MSG/NOTICE Granted, the aliasing '/***Serv somecommand' instead
  54 of having to use the old '/msg ***Serv somecomand' does make it easier
  55 but it's still nice to have a choice. There are a few other nice
  56 features with their services as well. Some that I do not see on any
  57 other service.
  58
  59 Is this possible?
  60 TIA
