I totally agree with you. We are now in 2005 and everything need improve. Your car, your house, your computer, your life, your Windows/Linux, your browser, your country.
When you have a program that millions of ppl use you need to improve too.
There is no reasons to not add this features to mIRC. Who likes it, use it. Who doesnt like it, ignore it. Just like a lot of ppl do with SSL. mIRC have SSL support and who like use it, who doesnt like it, ignore it.
Now lets wait for Khaled and see..
