I notice mIRC is now displaying the '*' channels, that is channels that are +s or +p that a user has not joined, in the channels list. While I actually prefer this behaviour (hey, lets play spot-the-botnets) I am curious if this was intentional (as mIRC tries to /join these channels)?

If this was not planned as a feature (I can see how it could become confusing) could it be possibly added as an option in the channels list dialog (similar to "Hide non-text channels")?
