ok how about a compromise. A new setting in Alt+O giving the option to change the behavior of the background interval save, while /saveini could still do the old behavior by default so the crazy DLL could poke the bear. Then /saveini could have a switch to override the default to make it do the behavior that won't tell lies to ON START.
I would much rather mIRC behaved consistently. Apart from that, I have mentioned in the past that I am no longer adding micro-options to the options dialog that change how mIRC behaves in small and subtle ways. If anything, I would much rather remove options like these from the options dialog in order to streamline it and make the interface, features, etc. more predictable and easier to manage and code for.
The only real option at this point is to either keep the current behaviour or to change it.
