HTML is absolutely NOT the way to go. You're right MeStinkBAD... yours isn't as ugly as the current method... it is MUCH uglier. It takes much more time to wade through all of the tags to see what the real text is (sometimes causing you to miss text because you miss the end of the tag) than it does to look around control codes. The fact that you can't get anyone to agree with you should tell you something.
Hey, Riamus. Go spend sometime using Irssi... some serious time. Or some time with X-Chat. Or some other client than mIRC. If you respond w/ "I don't want to mIRC is just fine I don't need to learn how other clients do things" then STOP ASKING FOR FEATURES AND CRAP ONLY TO SLAP DOWN EVERY IDEA YOU DON'T LIKE BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT! You seriously have *no* idea what you are talking about. Period.
