Fwd: Regarding codes used for Pidgin

[Sascha Vogt]

Should have gone to the list...

And for the record: With "commands" I meant, features implemented in
Pidgin by the protocol plugin, not what is specified by the IM protocol
(though they usually match somehow)

Actually, /me is not a command spesified by the IRC protocol at all.
It's just a convention that most IRC clients follow. It's actually a
CTCP message, which in turn is a PRIVMSG message, in which the
trailing parameter begins with ascii 1, directly followed by ACTION,
then the description, followed by ascii 1. CTCP replies are the same,
just using NOTICE instead of PRIVMSG.

Like this: (equal to /me is doing something!)
PRIVMSG currentTarget :<ascii 1>ACTION is doing something!<ascii 1>
