Hexchat and it's flashing windows :P( reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JethroUK ยท 2020-04-06 12:04 so I'm trying to use Hexchat (on Mint) to d/l via XDCC. I join the channel, issue the /MSG command, get queued and ... at some point the envelope icon flashes and the tooltip tells me I have a private message. A private message that I cannot find \*anywhere\*. I have the channel switched "open new tab on private message" option checked, but - guess what ? - no tab opens up. So what am I doing wrong, and how can I get to read this message which I suspect will explain why I never seem to get my download.
