Windows IRC client with conversation detection? (Or just best
conversation support)
reddit / irc

Having grown to love various Twitter clients' conversation support —
where I can select a Tweet and get the full conversation in its own
window — I'm starting to look forlornly at my IRC client's single
window, full of separate conversations.

Is there a Windows client that can either automatically (that'd be
sweet) or manually extract conversations based on who's replying to
whom?

Thanks for your suggestions!

mIRC puts all queries in their own window.  HexChat can be used on
Windows which puts all queries in their own seperate Windows..  KVIrc
can do this, IceChat..  Several others I missed.

I think he means detecting threading within a window, wherein you
reply to each other such that you mention each others name in a
message.

Ah, that sounds..  convoluted, probably the reason I don't care for
Twitter, I can't see how more than 2 people can have a conversation
without confusion.



To op: BUT, most (all?) IRC clients have highlighting, when you type
out the person's nickname, it'll change the colors of the lines to
distinguish that you're being spoken to directly..   I don't know of
any such client that will act like Twitter in the regard that Seiyria
mentioned.

So you expect people to just magically prefix all their messages with
someone else's nick? Seems a little unlikely...
