<h1>Action Messages</h1>
"Action Messages" are a bit of an extension to the CyanChat protocol. It's not
actually supported on the CC server, but several home-made CC clients support
this.
<h2>IRC-Style /me Actions</h2>
Typing in "/me &lt;action&gt;" in the message space is the standard way of sending
an action message. To all clients who support the feature, your message should appear
special on their client. To those which don't support the feature, they'll simply
see "/me &lt;action&gt;" from you.
<h2>Automatic Actions</h2>
There is an option on the <a href="misc.html">Miscellaneous</a> tab of the Preferences
window which will automatically display certain messages in the "action" format.<p>
When enabled, a message that begins and ends with asterisks (*) will automatically be
displayed as action messages.
<h2>Typo Messages</h2>
Typo messages are similar to action messages in that they display in a special color.
When a message is received that begins with a * but doesn't end with one, the message
is displayed normally, but the text is displayed in the "action color"
