Miscellaneous Options

Show private messages in new windows

When checked, all private messages will appear in their own "IM" windows. Disable this to get the standard CC behavior back. When disabled, IM windows can only be created by double-clicking a user's name in the list.

Ignore private messages from ChatServer

Check this to ignore all private messages from ChatServer. This is NOT RECOMMENDED. It's most useful on the test server, where ChatServer echoes a confirmation of every little thing your client does, but should not be used on the real server.

Show *...* messages as /me actions

This option will automatically display messages as "/me" actions if they start and end with asterisks. See Action Messages.

Highlight typo corrections

This option will automatically display "typo" messages uniquely. See Action Messages.
