BUGS

If you send a private message, and the nickname no longer exists, theerror message appears in the main server window (as most other errormessages).Unless you have the server window visible, you will not be aware of thefact that you are talking into thin air.If you have a misfortune of using a private message window, you may betotally oblivious for quite some time, that your messages aren't goinganywhere.
