hexchat logging issues. Want other user's hostname at top of log for
every PM.
reddit / irc

I like my private message logs to start with the other side's hostname
for searching purposes.

mIRC always did this without me changing any settings, but hexchat
only seems to do it when I get a PM while not being in channel.

So I get
[userx has address userx@**]
at the top of the log when I get a PM while not in channel, but I
don't get this if I get a PM while in channel. How can I make it so
that this is always added to the log?

I hope this is the right place to ask, and that I made sense...

Sorry for the late reply but [he]xchat has had this feature for
decades it has just been broken for that long too :P

I fixed it here: https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/commit/60fa7efbc86

You can get a build here: https://dl.hexchat.net/hexchat/testing

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm using Ubuntu, does anything there work
for that?
