I was wondering why when someone is away, if you speak to them in private, their away message appears every time you say something to them...
I have thought of various ways to counter that but I would like to hear yours if you have any.

Thank you very much in advance

Because the IRC server sends it to mIRC each time. If it didn't, how would you know if the user was still away or not?

Well, I would whois the user or do a /who #chan. No ?
However, thanks for your answer but do you know the best way to not have it appear each time I talk to this user ?
Thanks
