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