Due to a recent spate of flood attacks where a large number of bots with different nick names send single messages, which overwhelms mIRC to the point of being completely unusable, I have decided to change the options to use a single message window. This works well to guard against the attack, however it makes messaging a chore. If the user who is messaging me is also on a channel I can easily double-click their nick name in the channel list to open a query window specific for that user. However, if that is not the case I have not found a simple way to open this query window and it is fairly cumbersome to carry out private conversations within the Messages window.
My request is to provide a simple method to open a new query window for a user within the single Messages window.
