-?quickstart
-Welcome to BitlBee, your IRC gateway to ICQ, MSN, AOL, Jabber and Yahoo Instant Messaging Systems.
-
-The center of BitlBee is the control channel, #bitlbee. Two users will always be there, you (where "you" is the nickname you are using) and the system user, root.
-
-You need register so that all your IM settings (passwords, contacts, etc) can be saved on the BitlBee server. It's important that you pick a good password so no one else can access your account. Register with this password using the register command: register <password> (without the brackets!).
-
-Be sure to remember your password. The next time you connect to the BitlBee server you will need to identify <password> so that you will be recognised and logged in to all the IM services automatically.
-
-When finished, type help quickstart2 to continue.
-%
-?quickstart2
-Step Two: Add and Connect To your IM Account(s).
-
-To add an account to the account list you will need to use the account add command: account add <protocol> <username> <password> [<server>].
-
-For instance, suppose you have an ICQ account with UIN 72696705 with password QuickStart, you would:
-
-<you> account add oscar 72696705 QuickStart login.icq.com
-<root> Account successfully added
-
-Other available IM protocols are jabber, msn, and yahoo. Oscar is the protocol used by ICQ and AOL. For oscar, you need to specify the IM-server as a fourth argument (for msn and yahoo there is no fourth argument). For AOL Instant Messenger, the server name is login.oscar.aol.com. For ICQ, the server name is login.icq.com.
-
-When you are finished adding your account(s) use the account on command to enable all your accounts, type help quickstart3 to continue.
-%
-?quickstart3
-Step Three: Managing Contact Lists: Rename
-
-For most protocols (currently MSN, Jabber, Yahoo and AOL) BitlBee can download the contact list automatically from the IM server and all the on-line users should appear in the control channel when you log in.
-
-BitlBee will convert names into irc-friendly form (for instance: tux@example.com will be given the nickname tux). If you have more than one person who would have the same name by this logic (for instance: tux@example.com and tux@bitlbee.org) the second one to log on will be tux_. The same is true if you have a tux log on to AOL and a tux log on from Yahoo.
-
-It would be easy to get these two mixed up, so BitlBee has a rename command to change the nickname into something more suitable: rename <oldnick> <newnick>
-
-<you> rename tux_ bitlbeetux
-* tux_ is now known as bitlbeetux
-<root> Nick successfully changed
-
-When finished, type help quickstart4 to continue.
-%
-?quickstart4
-Step Four: Managing Contact Lists: Add and Remove.
-
-Now you might want to add some contacts, to do this we will use the add command. It needs two arguments: a connection ID (which can be a number (try account list), protocol name or (part of) the screenname) and the user's handle. It is used in the following way: add <connection> <handle>
-
-<you> add 0 r2d2@example.com
-* r2d2  has joined #bitlbee
-
-In this case r2d2 is online, since he/she joins the channel immediately. If the user is not online you will not see them join until they log on.
-
-Lets say you accidentally added r2d3@example.com rather than r2d2@example.com, or maybe you just want to remove a user from your list because you never talk to them. To remove a name you will want to use the remove command: remove <nick>
-
-When finished, type help quickstart5 to continue.
-%
-?quickstart5
-Step Five: Chatting.
-
-First of all, a person must be on your contact list for you to chat with them (unless it's a group chat, help groupchats for more). If someone not on your contact list sends you a message, simply add them to the proper account with the add command. Once they are on your list and online, you can chat with them in #bitlbee:
-
-<you> tux: hey, how's the weather down there?
-<tux>  you: a bit chilly!
-
-If you'd rather chat with them in a separate window use the /msg or /query command, just like you would for a private message in IRC. If you want to have messages automatically come up in private messages rather than in the #bitlbee channel, use the set private command: set private true (set private false to change back).
-
-You know the basics. If you want to get to know more about BitlBee, please type help quickstart6.
-%
-?quickstart6
-So you want more than just chatting? Or maybe you're just looking for a feature?
-
-You can type help set to learn more about the possible BitlBee user settings. Among these user settings you will find options for common issues, such as changing the charset, HTML stripping and automatic connecting (simply type set to see current user settings).
-
-For more subjects (like groupchats and away states), please type help index.
-
-If you're still looking for something, please visit us in #bitlbee on the OFTC network (you can connect via irc.bitlbee.org), or mail us your problem/suggestion. Good luck and enjoy the Bee!

-%
-?account add jabber
-Syntax: account add jabber <handle> <password> [<servertag>]
-
-Note that the servertag argument is optional. You only have to use it if the part after the @ in your handle isn't the hostname of your Jabber server, or if you want to use SSL/connect to a non-standard port number. The format is simple: [<servername>[:<portnumber>][:ssl]]. For example, this is how you can connect to Google Talk:
-
-Note that Google talk is SSL-only, but officially reachable over both port 5222 and 5223. However, for some people only port 5222 works, for some people only 5223. This is something you'll have to try out.
-
-Example:
-<wilmer> account add jabber example@gmail.com hobbelmeeuw talk.google.com:5223:ssl
-<root> Account successfully added
-%
-?account add msn
-Syntax: account add msn <handle> <password>
-
-For MSN connections there are no special arguments.
-%
-?account add oscar
-Syntax: account add oscar <handle> <password> [<servername>]
-
-Specifying a server is required for OSCAR, since OSCAR can be used for both ICQ- and AIM-connections. Although these days it's supposed to be possible to connect to ICQ via AIM-servers and vice versa, we like to stick with this separation for now. For ICQ connections, the servername is login.icq.com, for AIM connections it's login.oscar.aol.com.

-<wilmer> account add oscar 72696705 hobbelmeeuw login.icq.com

-
-Adds the given buddy at the specified connection to your buddy list. The account ID can be a number (see account list), the protocol name or (part of) the screenname, as long as it matches only one connection.
-
-If you want, you can also tell BitlBee what nick to give the new contact. Of course you can also use the rename command for that, but sometimes this might be more convenient.
-
-Example:
-<ctrlsoft> add 3 gryp@jabber.org grijp
-* grijp has joined #bitlbee
-%
-?info
-Syntax: info <connection> <handle>
-Syntax: info <nick>
-
-Requests IM-network-specific information about the specified user. The amount of information you'll get differs per protocol. For some protocols (ATM Yahoo! and MSN) it'll give you an URL which you can visit with a normal web browser to get the information.
-
-Example:
-<ctrlsoft> info 0 72696705
-<root> User info - UIN: 72696705   Nick: Lintux   First/Last name: Wilmer van der Gaast   E-mail: lintux@lintux.cx
-%
-?remove

-* gryp has quit [Leaving...]
-%
-?block
-Syntax: block <nick>
-Syntax: block <connection> <handle>

-
-To get more help information about a setting, try:
-
-Example:

-
-This command saves all your nicks and accounts immediately. Handy if you have the autosave functionality disabled, or if you don't trust the program's stability... ;-)
-%
-?rename
-Syntax: rename <oldnick> <newnick>
-
-Renick a user in your buddy list. Very useful, in fact just very important, if you got a lot of people with stupid account names (or hard ICQ numbers).
-
-Example:
-<itsme> rename itsme_ you
-* itsme_ is now known as you
-%
-?yes
-Syntax: yes [<number>]
-
-Sometimes an IM-module might want to ask you a question. (Accept this user as your buddy or not?) To accept a question, use the yes command.

-This gives you a list of all the unanswered questions from root.
-%
-?register
-Syntax: register <password>
-
-BitlBee can save your settings so you won't have to enter all your IM passwords every time you log in. If you want the Bee to save your settings, use the register command.
-
-Please do pick a secure password, don't just use your nick as your password. Please note that IRC is not an encrypted protocol, so the passwords still go over the network in plaintext. Evil people with evil sniffers will read it all. (So don't use your root password.. ;-)
-
-To identify yourself in later sessions, you can use the identify command.
-%
-?identify
-Syntax: identify <password>
-
-BitlBee saves all your settings (contacts, accounts, passwords) on-server. To prevent other users from just logging in as you and getting this information, you'll have to identify yourself with your password. You can register this password using the register command.
-
-Once you're registered, you can change your password using set password <password>.

-?drop
-Syntax: drop <password>
-
-Drop your BitlBee registration. Your account files will be removed and your password will be forgotten. For obvious security reasons, you have to specify your NickServ password to make this command work.
-%
-?blist
-Syntax: blist [all|online|offline|away]
-
-You can get a better readable buddy list using the blist command. If you want a complete list (including the offline users) you can use the all argument.
-%
-?nick
-Syntax: nick <connection> [<new nick>]
-Syntax: nick
-
-This command allows to set the friendly name of an im account. If no new name is specified the command will report the current name. When the name contains spaces, don't forget to quote the whole nick in double quotes. Currently this command is only supported by the MSN protocol.
-
-Example:
-<wouter> nick 1 "Wouter Paesen"
-<root> Setting your name on connection 1 to `Wouter Paesen'
-%
-?import_buddies
-Syntax: import_buddies <connection> [clear]
-
-This command copies the locally stored buddy list to the server. This command exists for upgrading purposes. Previous versions of BitlBee didn't support server-side buddy lists for ICQ, so the list was stored locally.
-
-Since version 0.91 however, server-side contact lists are supported for all protocols, so the local list is now ignored. When upgrading from an older BitlBee to version 0.91, you might need this command to get your buddy list back.
-
-The only argument this command needs is your ICQ account identification. If your serverside buddy list contains some old buddies you don't want anymore, you can pass clear as a second argument.
-
-After giving this command, you have to wait for a while before all the adds are handled, because of ICQ's rate limiting. If your buddy list is very large and the ICQ server starts complaining, you might have to reconnect and enter this command again.
-%
-?set charset
-Type: string
-Default: iso8859-1
-Possible Values: you can get a list of all possible values by doing 'iconv -l' in a shell
-
-The charset setting enables you to use different character sets in BitlBee. These get converted to UTF-8 before sending and from UTF-8 when receiving.
-
-If you don't know what's the best value for this, at least iso8859-1 is the best choice for most Western countries. You can try to find what works best for you on http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html
-%
-?set private
-Type: boolean
-Default: True
-
-If value is true, messages from users will appear in separate query windows. If false, messages from users will appear in the control channel.
-
-This setting is remembered (during one session) per-user, this setting only changes the default state. This option takes effect as soon as you reconnect.
-%
-?set save_on_quit
-Type: boolean
-Default: True
-
-If enabled causes BitlBee to save all current settings and account details when user disconnects. This is enabled by default, and these days there's not really a reason to have it disabled anymore.
-%
-?set html
-Type: string
-Default: nostrip
-Possible Values: strip, nostrip
-
-Determines what BitlBee should do with HTML in messages. If set to nostrip, HTML in messages will not be touched. If set to strip, all HTML will be stripped from messages. Unfortunately this sometimes strips too much.
-%
-?set debug
-Type: boolean
-Default: False
-
-Some debugging messages can be sent to the control channel if you wish. They're probably not really useful for you, unless you're doing some development on BitlBee.
-%
-?set to_char
-Type: string
-Default: ": "
-
-It's customary that messages meant for one specific person on an IRC channel are prepended by his/her alias followed by a colon ':'. BitlBee does this by default. If you prefer a different character, you can set it using set to_char.
-
-Please note that this setting is only used for incoming messages. For outgoing messages you can use ':' (colon) or ',' to separate the destination nick from the message, and this is not configurable.
-%
-?set typing_notice
-Type: boolean
-Default: False
-
-Sends you a /notice when a user starts typing a message (if the protocol supports it, MSN for example). This is a bug, not a feature. (But please don't report it.. ;-) You don't want to use it. Really. In fact the typing-notification is just one of the least useful 'innovations' ever. It's just there because some guy will probably ask me about it anyway. ;-)
-%
-?set ops
-Type: string
-Default: both
-Possible Values: both, root, user, none
-
-Some people prefer themself and root to have operator status in #bitlbee, other people don't. You can change these states using this setting.
-
-The value "both" means both user and root get ops. "root" means, well, just root. "user" means just the user. "none" means nobody will get operator status.
-%
-?set away_devoice
-Type: boolean
-Default: True
-
-With this option enabled, the root user devoices people when they go away (just away, not offline) and gives the voice back when they come back. You might dislike the voice-floods you'll get if your contact list is huge, so this option can be disabled.
-%
-?set handle_unknown
-Type: string
-Default: root
-Possible Values: root, add, add_private, add_channel, ignore
-
-Messages from unknown users are echoed like this by default:
-
-<root> Unknown message from handle 3137137:
-<root> j0000! 1 4m l33t h4x0r! kill me!
-
-If you want this lame user to be added automatically, you can set this setting to "add". If you prefer to ignore messages from people you don't know, you can set this one to "ignore". "add_private" and "add_channel" are like add, but you can use them to make messages from unknown buddies appear in the channel instead of a query window.
-
-Auto-added users aren't added to your real contact list. This is because you don't want the user to get authorization requests. So when you restart BitlBee, the auto-added user will be gone. If you want to keep the person in your buddy-list, you have to fixate the add using the add command.
-%
-?set auto_connect
-Type: boolean
-Default: True
-
-With this option enabled, when you identify BitlBee will automatically connect to your accounts, with this disabled it will not do this.
-%
-?set auto_reconnect
-Type: boolean
-Default: False
-
-If an IM-connections breaks, you're supposed to bring it back up yourself. Having BitlBee do this automatically might not always be a good idea, for several reasons. If you want the connections to be restored automatically, you can enable this setting.
-
-See also the auto_reconnect_delay setting.
-%
-?set auto_reconnect_delay
-Type: integer
-Default: 300
-
-Tell BitlBee after how many seconds it should attempt to bring an IM-connection back up after a crash. It's not a good idea to set this value very low, it will cause too much useless traffic when an IM-server is down for a few hours.
-
-See also the auto_reconnect setting.
-%
-?set buddy_sendbuffer
-Type: boolean
-Default: False
-
-By default, when you send a message to someone, BitlBee forwards this message to the user immediately. When you paste a large number of lines, the lines will be sent in separate messages, which might not be very nice to read. If you enable this setting, BitlBee will buffer your messages and wait for more data.
-
-Using the buddy_sendbuffer_delay setting you can specify the number of seconds BitlBee should wait for more data before the complete message is sent.
-
-Please note that if you remove a buddy from your list (or if the connection to that user drops) and there's still data in the buffer, this data will be lost. BitlBee will not try to send the message to the user in those cases.
-%
-?set buddy_sendbuffer_delay
-Type: integer
-Default: 
-
-Tell BitlBee after how many seconds a buffered message should be sent.
-
-See also the buddy_sendbuffer setting.
-%
-?set default_target
-Type: string
-Default: root
-Possible Values: root, last
-
-With this value set to root, lines written in the control channel without any nickname in front of them will be interpreted as commands. If you want BitlBee to send those lines to the last person you addressed in the control channel, set this to last.
-%
-?set display_namechanges
-Type: boolean
-Default: False
-%
-?set password
-Type: string
-Default: 
-
-Use this setting to change your "NickServ" password.
-%
-?set query_order
-Type: string
-Default: lifo
-Possible Values: lifo, fifo
-
-This changes the order in which the questions from root (usually authorization requests from buddies) should be answered. When set to lifo, BitlBee immediately displays all new questions and they should be answered in reverse order. When this is set to fifo, BitlBee displays the first question which comes in and caches all the others until you answer the first one.
-
-Although the fifo setting might sound more logical (and used to be the default behaviour in older BitlBee versions), it turned out not to be very convenient for many users when they missed the first question (and never received the next ones).
-%
-?set lcnicks
-Type: boolean
-Default: True
-
-Hereby you can change whether you want all lower case nick names or leave the case as it intended by your peer.
-%
-?misc
-%
-?smileys
-All MSN smileys (except one) are case insensitive and work without the nose too.
-
- (Y) - Thumbs up
- (N) - Thumbs down
- (B) - Beer mug
- (D) - Martini glass
- (X) - Girl
- (Z) - Boy
- (6) - Devil smiley
- :-[ - Vampire bat
- (}) - Right hug
- ({) - Left hug
- (M) - MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger icon (think a BitlBee logo here ;)
- :-S - Crooked smiley (Confused smiley)
- :-$ - Embarrassed smiley
- (H) - Smiley with sunglasses
- :-@ - Angry smiley
- (A) - Angel smiley
- (L) - Red heart (Love)
- (U) - Broken heart
- (K) - Red lips (Kiss)
- (G) - Gift with bow
- (F) - Red rose
- (W) - Wilted rose
- (P) - Camera
- (~) - Film strip
- (T) - Telephone receiver
- (@) - Cat face
- (&) - Dog's head
- (C) - Coffee cup
- (I) - Light bulb
- (S) - Half-moon (Case sensitive!)
- (*) - Star
- (8) - Musical eighth note
- (E) - Envelope
- (^) - Birthday cake
- (O) - Clock
-
-This list was extracted from http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/EMOTICONS.HTM?H_APP=.
-%
-?groupchats
-Since version 0.8x, BitlBee supports groupchats on the MSN and Yahoo! networks. This text will try to explain you how they work.
-
-As soon as someone invites you into a groupchat, you will be force-joined or invited (depending on the protocol) into a new virtual channel with all the people in there. You can leave the channel at any time, just like you would close the window in regular IM clients. Please note that root-commands don't work in groupchat channels, they only work in the control channel (or to root directly).
-
-Of course you can also create your own groupchats. Type help groupchats2 to see how.
-%
-?groupchats2
-If you want to start a groupchat with the person jim_msn in it, just join the channel #jim_msn. BitlBee will refuse to join you to the channel with that name, but it will create a new virtual channel with root, you and jim_msn in it.
-
-Of course a channel with only two people isn't really exciting yet. So the next step is to invite some other people to the channel. For this, you can use the /invite command of your IRC client. Please do keep in mind that all the people have to be on the same network and contact list! You can't invite Yahoo! buddies into an MSN groupchat.
-
-This is all you'll probably need to know. If you have any problems, please read help groupchats3.
-%
-?groupchats3
-Obviously the (numbered) channel names don't make a lot of sense. Problem is that groupchats usually don't have names at all in the IM-world, while IRC insists on a name. So BitlBee just generates something random, just don't pay attention to it. :-)
-
-Please also note that BitlBee doesn't support groupchats for all protocols yet. BitlBee will tell you so. Support for other protocols will hopefully come later.
-%
-?away
-As you might've expected, you can just use the /away command in your IRC client to set an away-state. BitlBee supports most away-states supported by the protocols.
-
-Not all away states are supported by all protocols, and some protocols have different names for them. BitlBee will try to pick the best available alias from this list for every connection:
-
- - Away from computer, Away, Extended away
- - NA, N/A, Not available
- - Busy, Do not disturb, DND, Occupied
- - Be right back, BRB
- - On the phone, Phone, On phone
- - Out to lunch, Lunch, Food
-
-So /away Food will set your state to "Out to lunch" on your MSN connection, and for most other connections the default, "Away" or "Away from computer" will be chosen.
-
-You can also add more information to your away message. Setting it to "Busy - Fixing BitlBee bugs" will set your IM-away-states to Busy, but your away message will be more descriptive for people on IRC. Protocols like Yahoo! and Jabber will also show this complete away message to your buddies.

-The latest BitlBee release is always available from <a href="http://www.bitlbee.org/" target="_top">http://www.bitlbee.org/</a>.
-Download the package with your favorite program and unpack it: <span><strong class="command">tar
-xvfz bitlbee-&lt;version&gt;.tar.gz</strong></span> where &lt;version&gt; is to be
-replaced by the version number of the BitlBee you downloaded (e.g. 0.91).
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2449756"></a>Compiling</h2></div></div></div><p>
-BitlBee's build system has to be configured before compiling. The
-<code class="filename">configure</code> script will do this for you. Just run
-it, it'll set up with nice and hopefully well-working defaults. If you
-want to change some settings, just try
-<span><strong class="command">./configure --help</strong></span> and see what you can do.
-</p><p>Some variables that might be of interest to the normal user:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>prefix, bindir, etcdir, mandir, datadir - The place where
-all the BitlBee program files will be put. There's usually no reason to
-specify them all separately, just specifying prefix (or keeping the default
-<code class="filename">/usr/local/</code>) should be okay.</p></li><li><p>config - The place where BitlBee will save all the per-user
-settings and buddy information. <code class="filename">/var/lib/bitlbee/</code>
-is the default value.</p></li><li><p>msn, jabber, oscar, yahoo - By default, support for all
-these IM-protocols (OSCAR is the protocol used by both ICQ and AIM) will
-be compiled in. To make the binary a bit smaller, you can use these options
-to leave out support for protocols you're not planning to use.</p></li><li><p>debug - Generate an unoptimized binary with debugging symbols,
-mainly useful if you want to do some debugging or help us to track down a
-problem.</p></li><li><p>strip - By default, unnecessary parts of the generated binary
-will be stripped out to make it as small as possible. If you don't want this
-(because it might cause problems on some platforms), set this to 0.
-</p></li><li><p>flood - To secure your BitlBee server against flooding attacks,
-you can use this option. It's not compiled in by default because it needs
-more testing first.</p></li><li><p>ssl - The MSN and Jabber modules require an SSL library for
-some of their tasks. BitlBee can use three different SSL libraries: GnuTLS,
-mozilla-nss and OpenSSL. (OpenSSL is, however, a bit troublesome because of
-licensing issues, so don't forget to read the information configure will
-give you when you try to use OpenSSL!) By default, configure will try to
-detect GnuTLS or mozilla-nss. If none of them can be found, it'll give up.
-If you want BitlBee to use OpenSSL, you have to explicitly specify that.
-</p></li></ul></div><p>
-After running <code class="filename">configure</code>, you should run
-<span><strong class="command">make</strong></span>. After that, run <span><strong class="command">make install</strong></span> as 
-root.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2449897"></a>Configuration</h2></div></div></div><p>
-By default, BitlBee runs as the user nobody. You might want 
-to run it as a seperate user (some computers run named or apache as nobody). 
-</p><p>
-Since BitlBee uses inetd, you should add the following line to <code class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</code>:
-</p><p>
-        </p><pre class="programlisting">
-6667    stream  tcp     nowait nobody /usr/local/sbin/bitlbee bitlbee
-</pre><p>
-      </p><p>
-Inetd has to be restarted after changing the configuration. Either
-<span><strong class="command">killall -HUP inetd</strong></span> or 
-<span><strong class="command">/etc/init.d/inetd restart</strong></span> should do the job on most systems.
-</p><p>
-You might be one of the.. ehr, lucky people running an xinetd-powered distro.
-<span><strong class="command">xinetd</strong></span> is quite different and they seem to be proud of that.. ;-)
-Anyway, if you want BitlBee to work with <span><strong class="command">xinetd</strong></span>, just copy the
-bitlbee.xinetd file to your /etc/xinetd.d/ directory (and probably edit it to suit
-your needs).

-You should create a directory where BitlBee can store it's data files. This 
-should be the directory named after the value 'CONFIG' in Makefile.settings. 
-The default is <code class="filename">/var/lib/bitlbee</code>, which can be created 
-with the command <span><strong class="command">mkdir -p /var/lib/bitlbee</strong></span>. This 
-directory has to be owned by the user that runs bitlbee. To make 
-'nobody' owner of this directory, run <span><strong class="command">chown nobody /var/lib/bitlbee</strong></span>.
-Because things like passwords are saved in this directory, it's probably
-a good idea to make this directory owner-read-/writable only.

-Welcome to BitlBee, your IRC gateway to ICQ, MSN, AOL, Jabber and Yahoo Instant Messaging Systems.
-</p><p>
-The center of BitlBee is the control channel, <span class="emphasis"><em>#bitlbee</em></span>. Two users will always be there, <span class="emphasis"><em>you</em></span> (where "you" is the nickname you are using) and the system user, <span class="emphasis"><em>root</em></span>.
-</p><p>
-You need register so that all your IM settings (passwords, contacts, etc) can be saved on the BitlBee server. It's important that you pick a good password so no one else can access your account. Register with this password using the <span class="emphasis"><em>register</em></span> command: <span class="emphasis"><em>register &lt;password&gt;</em></span> (without the brackets!).
-</p><p>
-Be sure to remember your password. The next time you connect to the BitlBee server you will need to <span class="emphasis"><em>identify &lt;password&gt;</em></span> so that you will be recognised and logged in to all the IM services automatically.
-</p><p>
-When finished, type <span class="emphasis"><em>help quickstart2</em></span> to continue.
-</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="quickstart2"></a>Add and Connect To your IM Account(s)</h2></div></div></div><p>
-        <span class="emphasis"><em>Step Two: Add and Connect To your IM Account(s).</em></span>
-      </p><p>
-To add an account to the account list you will need to use the <span class="emphasis"><em>account add</em></span> command: <span class="emphasis"><em>account add &lt;protocol&gt; &lt;username&gt; &lt;password&gt; [&lt;server&gt;]</em></span>.
-</p><p>
-For instance, suppose you have an ICQ account with UIN <span class="emphasis"><em>72696705</em></span> with password <span class="emphasis"><em>QuickStart</em></span>, you would:
-</p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt">&lt; you&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>account add oscar 72696705 QuickStart login.icq.com</code></strong>
-<code class="prompt">&lt; root&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>Account successfully added</code></strong>
-</pre><p>
-Other available IM protocols are jabber, msn, and yahoo. Oscar is the protocol used by ICQ and AOL. For oscar, you need to specify the IM-server as a fourth argument (for msn and yahoo there is no fourth argument). For AOL Instant Messenger, the server name is <span class="emphasis"><em>login.oscar.aol.com</em></span>. For ICQ, the server name is <span class="emphasis"><em>login.icq.com</em></span>.
-</p><p>
-When you are finished adding your account(s) use the <span class="emphasis"><em>account on</em></span> command to enable all your accounts, type <span class="emphasis"><em>help quickstart3</em></span> to continue.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="quickstart3"></a>Managing Contact Lists: Rename</h2></div></div></div><p>
-        <span class="emphasis"><em>Step Three: Managing Contact Lists: Rename</em></span>
-      </p><p>
-For most protocols (currently MSN, Jabber, Yahoo and AOL) BitlBee can download the contact list automatically from the IM server and all the on-line users should appear in the control channel when you log in.
-</p><p>
-BitlBee will convert names into irc-friendly form (for instance: tux@example.com will be given the nickname tux). If you have more than one person who would have the same name by this logic (for instance: tux@example.com and tux@bitlbee.org) the second one to log on will be tux_. The same is true if you have a tux log on to AOL and a tux log on from Yahoo.
-</p><p>
-It would be easy to get these two mixed up, so BitlBee has a <span class="emphasis"><em>rename</em></span> command to change the nickname into something more suitable: <span class="emphasis"><em>rename &lt;oldnick&gt; &lt;newnick&gt;</em></span></p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt">&lt; you&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>rename tux_ bitlbeetux</code></strong>
- * tux_is now known as bitlbeetux
-<code class="prompt">&lt; root&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>Nick successfully changed</code></strong>
-</pre><p>
-When finished, type <span class="emphasis"><em>help quickstart4</em></span> to continue.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="quickstart4"></a>Step Four: Managing Contact Lists: Add and Remove.</h2></div></div></div><p>
-        <span class="emphasis"><em>Step Four: Managing Contact Lists: Add and Remove.</em></span>
-      </p><p>
-Now you might want to add some contacts, to do this we will use the <span class="emphasis"><em>add</em></span> command. It needs two arguments: a connection ID (which can be a number (try <span class="emphasis"><em>account list</em></span>), protocol name or (part of) the screenname) and the user's handle. It is used in the following way: <span class="emphasis"><em>add &lt;connection&gt; &lt;handle&gt;</em></span></p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt">&lt; you&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>add 0 r2d2@example.com</code></strong>
- * r2d2has joined #bitlbee
-</pre><p>
-In this case r2d2 is online, since he/she joins the channel immediately. If the user is not online you will not see them join until they log on.
-</p><p>
-Lets say you accidentally added r2d3@example.com rather than r2d2@example.com, or maybe you just want to remove a user from your list because you never talk to them. To remove a name you will want to use the <span class="emphasis"><em>remove</em></span> command: <span class="emphasis"><em>remove &lt;nick&gt;</em></span></p><p>
-When finished, type <span class="emphasis"><em>help quickstart5</em></span> to continue.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="quickstart5"></a>Chatting</h2></div></div></div><p>
-        <span class="emphasis"><em>Step Five: Chatting.</em></span>
-      </p><p>
-First of all, a person must be on your contact list for you to chat with them (unless it's a group chat, <span class="emphasis"><em>help groupchats</em></span> for more). If someone not on your contact list sends you a message, simply add them to the proper account with the <span class="emphasis"><em>add</em></span> command. Once they are on your list and online, you can chat with them in #bitlbee:
-</p><pre class="screen"><code class="prompt">&lt; you&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>tux: hey, how's the weather down there?</code></strong>
-<code class="prompt">&lt; tux&gt; </code><strong class="userinput"><code>you: a bit chilly!</code></strong>
-</pre><p>
-If you'd rather chat with them in a separate window use the <span class="emphasis"><em>/msg</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>/query</em></span> command, just like you would for a private message in IRC.  If you want to have messages automatically come up in private messages rather than in the #bitlbee channel, use the <span class="emphasis"><em>set private</em></span> command: <span class="emphasis"><em>set private true</em></span> (<span class="emphasis"><em>set private false</em></span> to change back).
-</p><p>
-You know the basics. If you want to get to know more about BitlBee, please type <span class="emphasis"><em>help quickstart6</em></span>.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="quickstart6"></a>Further Resources</h2></div></div></div><p>
-        <span class="emphasis"><em>So you want more than just chatting? Or maybe you're just looking for a feature?</em></span>
-      </p><p>
-You can type <span class="emphasis"><em>help set</em></span> to learn more about the possible BitlBee user settings. Among these user settings you will find options for common issues, such as changing the charset, HTML stripping and automatic connecting (simply type <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span> to see current user settings).

-				The charset setting enables you to use different character sets in BitlBee. These get converted to UTF-8 before sending and from UTF-8 when receiving.
-			</p><p>
-				If you don't know what's the best value for this, at least iso8859-1 is the best choice for most Western countries. You can try to find what works best for you on http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html

-				If enabled causes BitlBee to save all current settings and account details when user disconnects. This is enabled by default, and these days there's not really a reason to have it disabled anymore.

-				Determines what BitlBee should do with HTML in messages. If set to nostrip, HTML in messages will not be touched. If set to strip, all HTML will be stripped from messages. Unfortunately this sometimes strips too much.

-				Some debugging messages can be sent to the control channel if you wish. They're probably not really useful for you, unless you're doing some development on BitlBee.

-				It's customary that messages meant for one specific person on an IRC channel are prepended by his/her alias followed by a colon ':'. BitlBee does this by default. If you prefer a different character, you can set it using <span class="emphasis"><em>set to_char</em></span>.
-			</p><p>
-				Please note that this setting is only used for incoming messages. For outgoing messages you can use ':' (colon) or ',' to separate the destination nick from the message, and this is not configurable.

-				Sends you a /notice when a user starts typing a message (if the protocol supports it, MSN for example). This is a bug, not a feature. (But please don't report it.. ;-) You don't want to use it. Really. In fact the typing-notification is just one of the least useful 'innovations' ever. It's just there because some guy will probably ask me about it anyway. ;-)

-				Some people prefer themself and root to have operator status in #bitlbee, other people don't. You can change these states using this setting.
-			</p><p>
-				The value "both" means both user and root get ops. "root" means, well, just root. "user" means just the user. "none" means nobody will get operator status.

-				With this option enabled, the root user devoices people when they go away (just away, not offline) and gives the voice back when they come back. You might dislike the voice-floods you'll get if your contact list is huge, so this option can be disabled.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_handle_unknown"></a>handle_unknown</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: string</td></tr></table><p>
-				Messages from unknown users are echoed like this by default:
-			</p><p>
-				If you want this lame user to be added automatically, you can set this setting to "add". If you prefer to ignore messages from people you don't know, you can set this one to "ignore". "add_private" and "add_channel" are like add, but you can use them to make messages from unknown buddies appear in the channel instead of a query window.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_auto_connect"></a>auto_connect</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: boolean</td></tr></table><p>
-				With this option enabled, when you identify BitlBee will automatically connect to your accounts, with this disabled it will not do this.

-				If an IM-connections breaks, you're supposed to bring it back up yourself. Having BitlBee do this automatically might not always be a good idea, for several reasons. If you want the connections to be restored automatically, you can enable this setting.
-			</p><p>
-				See also the <span class="emphasis"><em>auto_reconnect_delay</em></span> setting.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_auto_reconnect_delay"></a>auto_reconnect_delay</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: integer</td></tr></table><p>
-				Tell BitlBee after how many seconds it should attempt to bring an IM-connection back up after a crash. It's not a good idea to set this value very low, it will cause too much useless traffic when an IM-server is down for a few hours.
-			</p><p>
-				See also the <span class="emphasis"><em>auto_reconnect</em></span> setting.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_buddy_sendbuffer"></a>buddy_sendbuffer</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: boolean</td></tr></table><p>
-				By default, when you send a message to someone, BitlBee forwards this message to the user immediately. When you paste a large number of lines, the lines will be sent in separate messages, which might not be very nice to read. If you enable this setting, BitlBee will buffer your messages and wait for more data.
-			</p><p>
-				Using the <span class="emphasis"><em>buddy_sendbuffer_delay</em></span> setting you can specify the number of seconds BitlBee should wait for more data before the complete message is sent.
-			</p><p>
-				Please note that if you remove a buddy from your list (or if the connection to that user drops) and there's still data in the buffer, this data will be lost. BitlBee will not try to send the message to the user in those cases.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_buddy_sendbuffer_delay"></a>buddy_sendbuffer_delay</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: integer</td></tr></table><p>
-				Tell BitlBee after how many seconds a buffered message should be sent.
-			</p><p>
-				See also the <span class="emphasis"><em>buddy_sendbuffer</em></span> setting.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_default_target"></a>default_target</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: string</td></tr></table><p>
-				With this value set to <span class="emphasis"><em>root</em></span>, lines written in the control channel without any nickname in front of them will be interpreted as commands. If you want BitlBee to send those lines to the last person you addressed in the control channel, set this to <span class="emphasis"><em>last</em></span>.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_display_namechanges"></a>display_namechanges</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: boolean</td></tr></table></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_password"></a>password</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: string</td></tr></table><p>
-				Use this setting to change your "NickServ" password.
-			</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="set_query_order"></a>query_order</h2></div></div></div><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Type: string</td></tr></table><p>
-				This changes the order in which the questions from root (usually authorization requests from buddies) should be answered. When set to <span class="emphasis"><em>lifo</em></span>, BitlBee immediately displays all new questions and they should be answered in reverse order. When this is set to <span class="emphasis"><em>fifo</em></span>, BitlBee displays the first question which comes in and caches all the others until you answer the first one.
-			</p><p>
-				Although the <span class="emphasis"><em>fifo</em></span> setting might sound more logical (and used to be the default behaviour in older BitlBee versions), it turned out not to be very convenient for many users when they missed the first question (and never received the next ones).

-				Sometimes an IM-module might want to ask you a question. (Accept this user as your buddy or not?) To accept a question, use the <span class="emphasis"><em>yes</em></span> command.
-			</p><p>
-				By default, this answers the first unanswered question. You can also specify a different question as an argument. You can use the <span class="emphasis"><em>qlist</em></span> command for a list of questions.

-				BitlBee can save your settings so you won't have to enter all your IM passwords every time you log in. If you want the Bee to save your settings, use the <span class="emphasis"><em>register</em></span> command.
-			</p><p>
-				Please do pick a secure password, don't just use your nick as your password. Please note that IRC is not an encrypted protocol, so the passwords still go over the network in plaintext. Evil people with evil sniffers will read it all. (So don't use your root password.. ;-)
-			</p><p>
-				To identify yourself in later sessions, you can use the <span class="emphasis"><em>identify</em></span> command.

-</pre><p>
-        </p><p>
-				BitlBee saves all your settings (contacts, accounts, passwords) on-server. To prevent other users from just logging in as you and getting this information, you'll have to identify yourself with your password. You can register this password using the <span class="emphasis"><em>register</em></span> command.

-</pre><p>
-        </p><p>
-				This command copies the locally stored buddy list to the server. This command exists for upgrading purposes. Previous versions of BitlBee didn't support server-side buddy lists for ICQ, so the list was stored locally.
-			</p><p>
-				Since version 0.91 however, server-side contact lists are supported for all protocols, so the local list is now ignored. When upgrading from an older BitlBee to version 0.91, you might need this command to get your buddy list back.
-			</p><p>
-				The only argument this command needs is your ICQ account identification. If your serverside buddy list contains some old buddies you don't want anymore, you can pass <span class="emphasis"><em>clear</em></span> as a second argument.
-			</p><p>
-				After giving this command, you have to wait for a while before all the adds are handled, because of ICQ's rate limiting. If your buddy list is very large and the ICQ server starts complaining, you might have to reconnect and enter this command again.

-This list was extracted from <a href="http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/%24content%24/EMOTICONS.HTM?H_APP=" target="_top">http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/messengerv50.its51/$content$/EMOTICONS.HTM?H_APP=</a>.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="groupchats"></a>Groupchats</h2></div></div></div><p>
-Since version 0.8x, BitlBee supports groupchats on the MSN and Yahoo! networks. This text will try to explain you how they work.
-</p><p>
-As soon as someone invites you into a groupchat, you will be force-joined or invited (depending on the protocol) into a new virtual channel with all the people in there. You can leave the channel at any time, just like you would close the window in regular IM clients. Please note that root-commands don't work in groupchat channels, they only work in the control channel (or to root directly).
-</p><p>
-Of course you can also create your own groupchats. Type <span class="emphasis"><em>help groupchats2</em></span> to see how.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="groupchats2"></a>Creating groupchats</h2></div></div></div><p>
-If you want to start a groupchat with the person <span class="emphasis"><em>jim_msn</em></span> in it, just join the channel <span class="emphasis"><em>#jim_msn</em></span>. BitlBee will refuse to join you to the channel with that name, but it will create a new virtual channel with root, you and jim_msn in it.
-</p><p>
-Of course a channel with only two people isn't really exciting yet. So the next step is to invite some other people to the channel. For this, you can use the <span class="emphasis"><em>/invite</em></span> command of your IRC client. Please do keep in mind that all the people have to be on the same network and contact list! You can't invite Yahoo! buddies into an MSN groupchat.
-</p><p>
-This is all you'll probably need to know. If you have any problems, please read <span class="emphasis"><em>help groupchats3</em></span>.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="groupchats3"></a>Groupchat channel names</h2></div></div></div><p>
-Obviously the (numbered) channel names don't make a lot of sense. Problem is that groupchats usually don't have names at all in the IM-world, while IRC insists on a name. So BitlBee just generates something random, just don't pay attention to it. :-)
-</p><p>
-Please also note that BitlBee doesn't support groupchats for all protocols yet. BitlBee will tell you so. Support for other protocols will hopefully come later.
-</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="away"></a>Away states</h2></div></div></div><p>
-As you might've expected, you can just use the <span class="emphasis"><em>/away</em></span> command in your IRC client to set an away-state. BitlBee supports most away-states supported by the protocols.
-</p><p>
-Not all away states are supported by all protocols, and some protocols have different names for them. BitlBee will try to pick the best available alias from this list for every connection:
-</p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Away from computer, Away, Extended away</td></tr><tr><td>NA, N/A, Not available</td></tr><tr><td>Busy, Do not disturb, DND, Occupied</td></tr><tr><td>Be right back, BRB</td></tr><tr><td>On the phone, Phone, On phone</td></tr><tr><td>Out to lunch, Lunch, Food</td></tr></table><p>
-So <span class="emphasis"><em>/away Food</em></span> will set your state to "Out to lunch" on your MSN connection, and for most other connections the default, "Away" or "Away from computer" will be chosen.
-</p><p>
-You can also add more information to your away message. Setting it to "Busy - Fixing BitlBee bugs" will set your IM-away-states to Busy, but your away message will be more descriptive for people on IRC. Protocols like Yahoo! and Jabber will also show this complete away message to your buddies.
-</p></div></div></div></body></html>

-Chapter 1. Installation
-
-Table of Contents
-
-Downloading the package
-Compiling
-Configuration
-
-Downloading the package
-
-The latest BitlBee release is always available from http://www.bitlbee.org/.
-Download the package with your favorite program and unpack it: tar xvfz
-bitlbee-<version>.tar.gz where <version> is to be replaced by the version
-number of the BitlBee you downloaded (e.g. 0.91).
-
-Compiling
-
-BitlBee's build system has to be configured before compiling. The configure
-script will do this for you. Just run it, it'll set up with nice and hopefully
-well-working defaults. If you want to change some settings, just try ./
-configure --help and see what you can do.
-
-Some variables that might be of interest to the normal user:
-
-  * prefix, bindir, etcdir, mandir, datadir - The place where all the BitlBee
-    program files will be put. There's usually no reason to specify them all
-    separately, just specifying prefix (or keeping the default /usr/local/)
-    should be okay.
-
-  * config - The place where BitlBee will save all the per-user settings and
-    buddy information. /var/lib/bitlbee/ is the default value.
-
-  * msn, jabber, oscar, yahoo - By default, support for all these IM-protocols
-    (OSCAR is the protocol used by both ICQ and AIM) will be compiled in. To
-    make the binary a bit smaller, you can use these options to leave out
-    support for protocols you're not planning to use.
-
-  * debug - Generate an unoptimized binary with debugging symbols, mainly
-    useful if you want to do some debugging or help us to track down a problem.
-
-  * strip - By default, unnecessary parts of the generated binary will be
-    stripped out to make it as small as possible. If you don't want this
-    (because it might cause problems on some platforms), set this to 0.
-
-  * flood - To secure your BitlBee server against flooding attacks, you can use
-    this option. It's not compiled in by default because it needs more testing
-    first.
-
-  * ssl - The MSN and Jabber modules require an SSL library for some of their
-    tasks. BitlBee can use three different SSL libraries: GnuTLS, mozilla-nss
-    and OpenSSL. (OpenSSL is, however, a bit troublesome because of licensing
-    issues, so don't forget to read the information configure will give you
-    when you try to use OpenSSL!) By default, configure will try to detect
-    GnuTLS or mozilla-nss. If none of them can be found, it'll give up. If you
-    want BitlBee to use OpenSSL, you have to explicitly specify that.
-
-After running configure, you should run make. After that, run make install as
-root.
-
-Configuration
-
-By default, BitlBee runs as the user nobody. You might want to run it as a
-seperate user (some computers run named or apache as nobody).
-
-Since BitlBee uses inetd, you should add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
-
-6667    stream  tcp     nowait nobody /usr/local/sbin/bitlbee bitlbee
-
-Inetd has to be restarted after changing the configuration. Either killall -HUP
-inetd or /etc/init.d/inetd restart should do the job on most systems.
-
-You might be one of the.. ehr, lucky people running an xinetd-powered distro.
-xinetd is quite different and they seem to be proud of that.. ;-) Anyway, if
-you want BitlBee to work with xinetd, just copy the bitlbee.xinetd file to your
-/etc/xinetd.d/ directory (and probably edit it to suit your needs).
-
-You should create a directory where BitlBee can store it's data files. This
-should be the directory named after the value 'CONFIG' in Makefile.settings.
-The default is /var/lib/bitlbee, which can be created with the command mkdir -p
-/var/lib/bitlbee. This directory has to be owned by the user that runs bitlbee.
-To make 'nobody' owner of this directory, run chown nobody /var/lib/bitlbee.
-Because things like passwords are saved in this directory, it's probably a good
-idea to make this directory owner-read-/writable only.

-Chapter 2. Usage
-
-Table of Contents
-
-Connecting to the server
-The #bitlbee control channel
-Talking to people
-
-Connecting to the server
-
-Since BitlBee acts just like any other irc daemon, you can connect to it with
-your favorite irc client. Launch it and connect to localhost port 6667 (or
-whatever host/port you are running bitlbee on).
-
-The #bitlbee control channel
-
-Once you are connected to the BitlBee server, you are automatically joined to #
-bitlbee on that server. This channel acts like the 'buddy list' you have on the
-various other chat networks.
-
-The user 'root' always hangs around in #bitlbee and acts as your interface to
-bitlbee. All commands you give on #bitlbee are 'answered' by root.
-
-Talking to people
-
-You can talk to by starting a query with them. In most irc clients, this can be
-done with either /msg <nick> <text> or /query <nick>.
-
-To keep the number of open query windows limited, you can also talk to people
-in the control channel, like <nick>: <text>.

-
-Chapter 4. Quickstart
-
-Table of Contents
-
-Add and Connect To your IM Account(s)
-Managing Contact Lists: Rename
-Step Four: Managing Contact Lists: Add and Remove.
-Chatting
-Further Resources
-
-Welcome to BitlBee, your IRC gateway to ICQ, MSN, AOL, Jabber and Yahoo Instant
-Messaging Systems.
-
-The center of BitlBee is the control channel, #bitlbee. Two users will always
-be there, you (where "you" is the nickname you are using) and the system user,
-root.
-
-You need register so that all your IM settings (passwords, contacts, etc) can
-be saved on the BitlBee server. It's important that you pick a good password so
-no one else can access your account. Register with this password using the
-register command: register <password> (without the brackets!).
-
-Be sure to remember your password. The next time you connect to the BitlBee
-server you will need to identify <password> so that you will be recognised and
-logged in to all the IM services automatically.
-
-When finished, type help quickstart2 to continue.
-
-Add and Connect To your IM Account(s)
-
-Step Two: Add and Connect To your IM Account(s).
-
-To add an account to the account list you will need to use the account add
-command: account add <protocol> <username> <password> [<server>].
-
-For instance, suppose you have an ICQ account with UIN 72696705 with password
-QuickStart, you would:
-
-< you> account add oscar 72696705 QuickStart login.icq.com
-< root> Account successfully added
-
-Other available IM protocols are jabber, msn, and yahoo. Oscar is the protocol
-used by ICQ and AOL. For oscar, you need to specify the IM-server as a fourth
-argument (for msn and yahoo there is no fourth argument). For AOL Instant
-Messenger, the server name is login.oscar.aol.com. For ICQ, the server name is
-login.icq.com.
-
-When you are finished adding your account(s) use the account on command to
-enable all your accounts, type help quickstart3 to continue.
-
-Managing Contact Lists: Rename
-
-Step Three: Managing Contact Lists: Rename
-
-For most protocols (currently MSN, Jabber, Yahoo and AOL) BitlBee can download
-the contact list automatically from the IM server and all the on-line users
-should appear in the control channel when you log in.
-
-BitlBee will convert names into irc-friendly form (for instance:
-tux@example.com will be given the nickname tux). If you have more than one
-person who would have the same name by this logic (for instance:
-tux@example.com and tux@bitlbee.org) the second one to log on will be tux_. The
-same is true if you have a tux log on to AOL and a tux log on from Yahoo.
-
-It would be easy to get these two mixed up, so BitlBee has a rename command to
-change the nickname into something more suitable: rename <oldnick> <newnick>
-
-< you> rename tux_ bitlbeetux
- * tux_is now known as bitlbeetux
-< root> Nick successfully changed
-
-When finished, type help quickstart4 to continue.
-
-Step Four: Managing Contact Lists: Add and Remove.
-
-Step Four: Managing Contact Lists: Add and Remove.
-
-Now you might want to add some contacts, to do this we will use the add
-command. It needs two arguments: a connection ID (which can be a number (try
-account list), protocol name or (part of) the screenname) and the user's
-handle. It is used in the following way: add <connection> <handle>
-
-< you> add 0 r2d2@example.com
- * r2d2has joined #bitlbee
-
-In this case r2d2 is online, since he/she joins the channel immediately. If the
-user is not online you will not see them join until they log on.
-
-Lets say you accidentally added r2d3@example.com rather than r2d2@example.com,
-or maybe you just want to remove a user from your list because you never talk
-to them. To remove a name you will want to use the remove command: remove
-<nick>
-
-When finished, type help quickstart5 to continue.
-
-Chatting
-
-Step Five: Chatting.
-
-First of all, a person must be on your contact list for you to chat with them
-(unless it's a group chat, help groupchats for more). If someone not on your
-contact list sends you a message, simply add them to the proper account with
-the add command. Once they are on your list and online, you can chat with them
-in #bitlbee:
-
-< you> tux: hey, how's the weather down there?
-< tux> you: a bit chilly!
-
-If you'd rather chat with them in a separate window use the /msg or /query
-command, just like you would for a private message in IRC. If you want to have
-messages automatically come up in private messages rather than in the #bitlbee
-channel, use the set private command: set private true (set private false to
-change back).
-
-You know the basics. If you want to get to know more about BitlBee, please type
-help quickstart6.
-
-Further Resources
-
-So you want more than just chatting? Or maybe you're just looking for a
-feature?
-
-You can type help set to learn more about the possible BitlBee user settings.
-Among these user settings you will find options for common issues, such as
-changing the charset, HTML stripping and automatic connecting (simply type set
-to see current user settings).
-
-For more subjects (like groupchats and away states), please type help index.
-
-If you're still looking for something, please visit us in #bitlbee on the OFTC
-network (you can connect via irc.bitlbee.org), or mail us your problem/
-suggestion. Good luck and enjoy the Bee!

-Syntax: 
-
-account <action> [<arguments>]
-
-Available actions: add, del, list, on, off. See help account <action> for more
-information.
-
-account add
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account add <protocol> <username> <password> [<server>]
-
-Adds an account on the given server with the specified protocol, username and
-password to the account list. Supported protocols right now are: Jabber, MSN,
-OSCAR (AIM/ICQ) and Yahoo. For more information about adding an account, see
-help account add <protocol>.
-
-account add jabber
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account add jabber <handle> <password> [<servertag>]
-
-Note that the servertag argument is optional. You only have to use it if the
-part after the @ in your handle isn't the hostname of your Jabber server, or if
-you want to use SSL/connect to a non-standard port number. The format is
-simple: [<servername>[:<portnumber>][:ssl]]. For example, this is how you can
-connect to Google Talk:
-
-Note that Google talk is SSL-only, but officially reachable over both port 5222
-and 5223. However, for some people only port 5222 works, for some people only
-5223. This is something you'll have to try out.
-
-< wilmer> account add jabber example@gmail.com hobbelmeeuw talk.google.com:5223:ssl
-< root> Account successfully added
-
-account add msn
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account add msn <handle> <password>
-
-For MSN connections there are no special arguments.
-
-account add oscar
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account add oscar <handle> <password> [<servername>]
-
-Specifying a server is required for OSCAR, since OSCAR can be used for both
-ICQ- and AIM-connections. Although these days it's supposed to be possible to
-connect to ICQ via AIM-servers and vice versa, we like to stick with this
-separation for now. For ICQ connections, the servername is login.icq.com, for
-AIM connections it's login.oscar.aol.com.
-
-< wilmer> account add oscar 72696705 hobbelmeeuw login.icq.com
-< root> Account successfully added
-
-account add yahoo
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account add yahoo <handle> <password>
-
-For Yahoo! connections there are no special arguments.
-
-account del
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account del <account id>
-
-This commands deletes an account from your account list. You should signoff the
-account before deleting it.
-
-The account ID can be a number (see account list), the protocol name or (part
-of) the screenname, as long as it matches only one connection.
-
-account on
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account on [<account id>]
-
-This command will try to log into the specified account. If no account is
-specified, BitlBee will log into all the accounts. (Including accounts awaiting
-a reconnection)
-
-The account ID can be a number (see account list), the protocol name or (part
-of) the screenname, as long as it matches only one connection.
-
-account off
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account off [<account id>]
-
-This command disconnects the connection for the specified account. If no
-account is specified, BitlBee will deactivate all active accounts. (Including
-accounts awaiting a reconnection)
-
-The account ID can be a number (see account list), the protocol name or (part
-of) the screenname, as long as it matches only one connection.
-
-account list
-
-Syntax: 
-
-account list
-
-This command gives you a list of all the accounts known by BitlBee, including
-the numbers you'll need for most account commands.
-
-add - Add a buddy to your contact list
-
-Syntax: 
-
-add <connection> <handle> [<nick>]
-
-Adds the given buddy at the specified connection to your buddy list. The
-account ID can be a number (see account list), the protocol name or (part of)
-the screenname, as long as it matches only one connection.
-
-If you want, you can also tell BitlBee what nick to give the new contact. Of
-course you can also use the rename command for that, but sometimes this might
-be more convenient.
-
-< ctrlsoft> add 3 gryp@jabber.org grijp
- * grijphas joined #bitlbee
-
-info - Request user information
-
-Syntax: 
-
-info <connection> <handle>
-info <nick>
-
-Requests IM-network-specific information about the specified user. The amount
-of information you'll get differs per protocol. For some protocols (ATM Yahoo!
-and MSN) it'll give you an URL which you can visit with a normal web browser to
-get the information.
-
-< ctrlsoft> info 0 72696705
-< root> User info - UIN: 72696705 Nick: Lintux First/Last name: Wilmer van der Gaast E-mail: lintux@lintux.cx
-
-remove - Remove a buddy from your contact list
-
-Syntax: 
-
-remove <nick>
-
-Removes the specified nick from your buddy list.
-
-< ctrlsoft> remove gryp
- * gryphas quit [Leaving...]
-
-block - Block someone
-
-Syntax: 
-
-block <nick>
-block <connection> <handle>
-
-Puts the specified user on your ignore list. Either specify the user's nick
-when you have him/her in your contact list or a connection number and a user
-handle.
-
-allow - Unblock someone
-
-Syntax: 
-
-allow <nick>
-allow <connection> <handle>
-
-Reverse of block. Unignores the specified user or user handle on specified
-connection.
-
-set - Miscellaneous settings
-
-Syntax: 
-
-set [<variable> [<value>]]
-
-Without any arguments, this command lists all the set variables. You can also
-specify a single argument, a variable name, to get that variable's value. To
-change this value, specify the new value as the second argument.
-
-To get more help information about a setting, try:
-
-< ctrlsoft> help set private
-
-help - BitlBee help system
-
-Syntax: 
-
-help [subject]
-
-This command gives you the help information you're reading right now. If you
-don't give any arguments, it'll give a short help index.
-
-save - Save your account data
-
-Syntax: 
-
-save
-
-This command saves all your nicks and accounts immediately. Handy if you have
-the autosave functionality disabled, or if you don't trust the program's
-stability... ;-)
-
-charset
-
-Type: string
-
-The charset setting enables you to use different character sets in BitlBee.
-These get converted to UTF-8 before sending and from UTF-8 when receiving.
-
-If you don't know what's the best value for this, at least iso8859-1 is the
-best choice for most Western countries. You can try to find what works best for
-you on http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html
-
-private
-
-Type: boolean
-
-If value is true, messages from users will appear in separate query windows. If
-false, messages from users will appear in the control channel.
-
-This setting is remembered (during one session) per-user, this setting only
-changes the default state. This option takes effect as soon as you reconnect.
-
-save_on_quit
-
-Type: boolean
-
-If enabled causes BitlBee to save all current settings and account details when
-user disconnects. This is enabled by default, and these days there's not really
-a reason to have it disabled anymore.
-
-html
-
-Type: string
-
-Determines what BitlBee should do with HTML in messages. If set to nostrip,
-HTML in messages will not be touched. If set to strip, all HTML will be
-stripped from messages. Unfortunately this sometimes strips too much.
-
-debug
-
-Type: boolean
-
-Some debugging messages can be sent to the control channel if you wish. They're
-probably not really useful for you, unless you're doing some development on
-BitlBee.
-
-to_char
-
-Type: string
-
-It's customary that messages meant for one specific person on an IRC channel
-are prepended by his/her alias followed by a colon ':'. BitlBee does this by
-default. If you prefer a different character, you can set it using set to_char.
-
-Please note that this setting is only used for incoming messages. For outgoing
-messages you can use ':' (colon) or ',' to separate the destination nick from
-the message, and this is not configurable.
-
-typing_notice
-
-Type: boolean
-
-Sends you a /notice when a user starts typing a message (if the protocol
-supports it, MSN for example). This is a bug, not a feature. (But please don't
-report it.. ;-) You don't want to use it. Really. In fact the
-typing-notification is just one of the least useful 'innovations' ever. It's
-just there because some guy will probably ask me about it anyway. ;-)
-
-ops
-
-Type: string
-
-Some people prefer themself and root to have operator status in #bitlbee, other
-people don't. You can change these states using this setting.
-
-The value "both" means both user and root get ops. "root" means, well, just
-root. "user" means just the user. "none" means nobody will get operator status.
-
-away_devoice
-
-Type: boolean
-
-With this option enabled, the root user devoices people when they go away (just
-away, not offline) and gives the voice back when they come back. You might
-dislike the voice-floods you'll get if your contact list is huge, so this
-option can be disabled.
-
-handle_unknown
-
-Type: string
-
-Messages from unknown users are echoed like this by default:
-
-If you want this lame user to be added automatically, you can set this setting
-to "add". If you prefer to ignore messages from people you don't know, you can
-set this one to "ignore". "add_private" and "add_channel" are like add, but you
-can use them to make messages from unknown buddies appear in the channel
-instead of a query window.
-
-auto_connect
-
-Type: boolean
-
-With this option enabled, when you identify BitlBee will automatically connect
-to your accounts, with this disabled it will not do this.
-
-auto_reconnect
-
-Type: boolean
-
-If an IM-connections breaks, you're supposed to bring it back up yourself.
-Having BitlBee do this automatically might not always be a good idea, for
-several reasons. If you want the connections to be restored automatically, you
-can enable this setting.
-
-See also the auto_reconnect_delay setting.
-
-auto_reconnect_delay
-
-Type: integer
-
-Tell BitlBee after how many seconds it should attempt to bring an IM-connection
-back up after a crash. It's not a good idea to set this value very low, it will
-cause too much useless traffic when an IM-server is down for a few hours.
-
-See also the auto_reconnect setting.
-
-buddy_sendbuffer
-
-Type: boolean
-
-By default, when you send a message to someone, BitlBee forwards this message
-to the user immediately. When you paste a large number of lines, the lines will
-be sent in separate messages, which might not be very nice to read. If you
-enable this setting, BitlBee will buffer your messages and wait for more data.
-
-Using the buddy_sendbuffer_delay setting you can specify the number of seconds
-BitlBee should wait for more data before the complete message is sent.
-
-Please note that if you remove a buddy from your list (or if the connection to
-that user drops) and there's still data in the buffer, this data will be lost.
-BitlBee will not try to send the message to the user in those cases.
-
-buddy_sendbuffer_delay
-
-Type: integer
-
-Tell BitlBee after how many seconds a buffered message should be sent.
-
-See also the buddy_sendbuffer setting.
-
-default_target
-
-Type: string
-
-With this value set to root, lines written in the control channel without any
-nickname in front of them will be interpreted as commands. If you want BitlBee
-to send those lines to the last person you addressed in the control channel,
-set this to last.
-
-display_namechanges
-
-Type: boolean
-
-password
-
-Type: string
-
-Use this setting to change your "NickServ" password.
-
-query_order
-
-Type: string
-
-This changes the order in which the questions from root (usually authorization
-requests from buddies) should be answered. When set to lifo, BitlBee
-immediately displays all new questions and they should be answered in reverse
-order. When this is set to fifo, BitlBee displays the first question which
-comes in and caches all the others until you answer the first one.
-
-Although the fifo setting might sound more logical (and used to be the default
-behaviour in older BitlBee versions), it turned out not to be very convenient
-for many users when they missed the first question (and never received the next
-ones).
-
-lcnicks
-
-Type: boolean
-
-Hereby you can change whether you want all lower case nick names or leave the
-case as it intended by your peer.
-
-rename - Rename (renick) a buddy
-
-Syntax: 
-
-rename <oldnick> <newnick>
-
-Renick a user in your buddy list. Very useful, in fact just very important, if
-you got a lot of people with stupid account names (or hard ICQ numbers).
-
-< itsme> rename itsme_ you
- * itsme_is now known as you
-
-yes - Accept a request
-
-Syntax: 
-
-yes [<number>]
-
-Sometimes an IM-module might want to ask you a question. (Accept this user as
-your buddy or not?) To accept a question, use the yes command.
-
-By default, this answers the first unanswered question. You can also specify a
-different question as an argument. You can use the qlist command for a list of
-questions.
-
-no - Deny a request
-
-Syntax: 
-
-no [<number>]
-
-Sometimes an IM-module might want to ask you a question. (Accept this user as
-your buddy or not?) To reject a question, use the no command.
-
-By default, this answers the first unanswered question. You can also specify a
-different question as an argument. You can use the qlist command for a list of
-questions.
-
-qlist - List all the unanswered questions root asked
-
-Syntax: 
-
-qlist
-
-This gives you a list of all the unanswered questions from root.
-
-register - Register yourself
-
-Syntax: 
-
-register <password>
-
-BitlBee can save your settings so you won't have to enter all your IM passwords
-every time you log in. If you want the Bee to save your settings, use the
-register command.
-
-Please do pick a secure password, don't just use your nick as your password.
-Please note that IRC is not an encrypted protocol, so the passwords still go
-over the network in plaintext. Evil people with evil sniffers will read it all.
-(So don't use your root password.. ;-)
-
-To identify yourself in later sessions, you can use the identify command.
-
-identify - Identify yourself with your password
-
-Syntax: 
-
-identify <password>
-
-BitlBee saves all your settings (contacts, accounts, passwords) on-server. To
-prevent other users from just logging in as you and getting this information,
-you'll have to identify yourself with your password. You can register this
-password using the register command.
-
-Once you're registered, you can change your password using set password
-<password>.
-
-drop - Drop your account
-
-Syntax: 
-
-drop <password>
-
-Drop your BitlBee registration. Your account files will be removed and your
-password will be forgotten. For obvious security reasons, you have to specify
-your NickServ password to make this command work.
-
-blist - List all the buddies in your contact list
-
-Syntax: 
-
-blist [all|online|offline|away]
-
-You can get a better readable buddy list using the blist command. If you want a
-complete list (including the offline users) you can use the all argument.
-
-nick - Change friendly name, nick
-
-Syntax: 
-
-nick <connection> [<new nick>]
-nick
-
-This command allows to set the friendly name of an im account. If no new name
-is specified the command will report the current name. When the name contains
-spaces, don't forget to quote the whole nick in double quotes. Currently this
-command is only supported by the MSN protocol.
-
-< wouter> nick 1 "Wouter Paesen"
-< root> Setting your name on connection 1 to `Wouter Paesen'
-
-import_buddies - Copy local buddy list to server (normally only needed when
-upgrading)
-
-Syntax: 
-
-import_buddies <connection> [clear]
-
-This command copies the locally stored buddy list to the server. This command
-exists for upgrading purposes. Previous versions of BitlBee didn't support
-server-side buddy lists for ICQ, so the list was stored locally.
-
-Since version 0.91 however, server-side contact lists are supported for all
-protocols, so the local list is now ignored. When upgrading from an older
-BitlBee to version 0.91, you might need this command to get your buddy list
-back.
-
-The only argument this command needs is your ICQ account identification. If
-your serverside buddy list contains some old buddies you don't want anymore,
-you can pass clear as a second argument.
-
-After giving this command, you have to wait for a while before all the adds are
-handled, because of ICQ's rate limiting. If your buddy list is very large and
-the ICQ server starts complaining, you might have to reconnect and enter this
-command again.

-
-Groupchats
-
-Since version 0.8x, BitlBee supports groupchats on the MSN and Yahoo! networks.
-This text will try to explain you how they work.
-
-As soon as someone invites you into a groupchat, you will be force-joined or
-invited (depending on the protocol) into a new virtual channel with all the
-people in there. You can leave the channel at any time, just like you would
-close the window in regular IM clients. Please note that root-commands don't
-work in groupchat channels, they only work in the control channel (or to root
-directly).
-
-Of course you can also create your own groupchats. Type help groupchats2 to see
-how.
-
-Creating groupchats
-
-If you want to start a groupchat with the person jim_msn in it, just join the
-channel #jim_msn. BitlBee will refuse to join you to the channel with that
-name, but it will create a new virtual channel with root, you and jim_msn in
-it.
-
-Of course a channel with only two people isn't really exciting yet. So the next
-step is to invite some other people to the channel. For this, you can use the /
-invite command of your IRC client. Please do keep in mind that all the people
-have to be on the same network and contact list! You can't invite Yahoo!
-buddies into an MSN groupchat.
-
-This is all you'll probably need to know. If you have any problems, please read
-help groupchats3.
-
-Groupchat channel names
-
-Obviously the (numbered) channel names don't make a lot of sense. Problem is
-that groupchats usually don't have names at all in the IM-world, while IRC
-insists on a name. So BitlBee just generates something random, just don't pay
-attention to it. :-)
-
-Please also note that BitlBee doesn't support groupchats for all protocols yet.
-BitlBee will tell you so. Support for other protocols will hopefully come
-later.
-
-Away states
-
-As you might've expected, you can just use the /away command in your IRC client
-to set an away-state. BitlBee supports most away-states supported by the
-protocols.
-
-Not all away states are supported by all protocols, and some protocols have
-different names for them. BitlBee will try to pick the best available alias
-from this list for every connection:
-
-Away from computer, Away, Extended away
-NA, N/A, Not available
-Busy, Do not disturb, DND, Occupied
-Be right back, BRB
-On the phone, Phone, On phone
-Out to lunch, Lunch, Food
-
-So /away Food will set your state to "Out to lunch" on your MSN connection, and
-for most other connections the default, "Away" or "Away from computer" will be
-chosen.
-
-You can also add more information to your away message. Setting it to "Busy -
-Fixing BitlBee bugs" will set your IM-away-states to Busy, but your away
-message will be more descriptive for people on IRC. Protocols like Yahoo! and
-Jabber will also show this complete away message to your buddies.
