Forums Bug Reports Queries and IAL

It seems mIRC is failing to add addresses for Queries to the IAL when the person you are talking to is not on any common channel

..and "/help IAL" explains why.

I think mIRC should hold addresses of people not on the same channels, or at least allow addresses to be accessed in events.

It does both. $fulladdress, $address (no parameters!), $site etc all work in events regardless of the IAL, and there's also $query().addr (but see the warning about it in the helpfile).
