I was describing this problem to the guys in #Helpdesk at the weekend - not sure if you were there
I did a little research into what irssi responds with when you re-connect to it, and the names raws are in there. However, they appear to be out of sequence compared to a join from a normal server:
mIRC-initiated JOIN sequence:
-> Surrey.UK.EU.Undernet.Org JOIN #mirc

<- :Surrey.UK.EU.Undernet.Org 324 Sais #mIRC +tnl 66
<- :Surrey.UK.EU.Undernet.Org 329 Sais #mIRC 823923645
Note that the sequence in the first case is:
332, 333,
353 ... 366 ,324,329
while in the second case, the names come first:
353 ... 366, 332, 324, 329
(hmm. and missing 333 RPL_TOPICWHOTIME)
Question: does the order matter? I don't *think* it's specified in RFC 1459 (I'll check and ammend this if I find out).
I'll also play with the irssi proxy, and see if I can recompile it to send the replies back in the first order - I think it's easy-ish - see if that has any effect.
As for the network recognition problem, I'm not sure how mIRC recognises the network name, it doesn't always seem to update when I use /version. I suppose you could hack irssi to generate a 005 response with the group name...
