When typing in a query or channel window, mIRC can now send typing notifications to let other users know that you are typing. mIRC can also receive typing notifications from other users and will display a typing indicator in the query and channel titlebars. This feature can be turned on or off in the IRC/Options dialog. Can someone tell me how to turn this on? I have found the option "Send typing notifications" under Tools => Options => IRC => Options => Other. But my friend and I have both enabled it and and we still do not see any typing indicator from each other. So is that something else that needs to be turned on, and what?

You can see if a server supports this token in the CAP message that appears when you first connect to it. Most of the major IRC networks do not support message-tags unfortunately.

This indicates that the server supports IRCv3 features. If one of the listed features in "CAP available" is "message-tags", this means that typing notifications are supported.
