No plugin is needed. From my own experience the function stops working if I delete the address list though.

Senx, but I haven`t deleted nothing... And this function is not working and never worked, maybe is some place ni windows or mIRC folder, where I supposed to activate it?! confused

I understand that after clicking this type of adresses my mIRC suppose to connect to this server, and join the channel (if the channel is writen),
but in my siyuation after clicking on tnis link my browser (opera) shows this dialogue:

...unknown type of adress, unable to contact server...

I do not believe Opera supports irc:// links, I think it's only for Internet Explorer (and Mozilla FireFox). Also, you don't need the # symbol in the channel name, you can just do: <a href="irc://network/channel" target="_blank">irc://network/channel</a> rather than <a href="irc://network/#channel." target="_blank">irc://network/#channel.</a>

More info on chat links is available here.

Edit:Apparently Opera can be set to support irc:// links, thanks CtrlAltDel for providing the info smile (Sorry, I've never used Opera, I'm happy with IE)

In Opera 7.5, go to Tools > Preferences... > Programs and paths and click the "Add" button under "Protocols". This will open a dialog box called "Protocols". Now, simply enter the protocol in the "Protocol" field without a colon or slashes (for example, you can enter "irc", but not "irc:" or "irc://"), and either set Opera to use the system default application to handle this protocol, or specify one in the "Open with other application" field.
