Last change on this file since d7f8500 was e907683, checked in by Wilmer van der Gaast <wilmer@…>, at 2010-06-26T23:39:31Z

Changed account set (and other account commands) syntax. Instead of
"account set acc/key value" you now do "account acc set key value". So just
the regular set syntax with a "account acc" prefix. The slash has been a
source of confusion for long enough now.

For consistency, commands like "account on acc" should now also be
"account acc on" instead. Same for the new "channel" comand, of course.

Property mode set to 100644

[e88fbe27]	23	Adds an account on the given server with the specified protocol, username and password to the account list.

	31	<para>
[ee5c355]	32	The handle should be a full handle, including the domain name. You can specify a servername if necessary. Normally BitlBee doesn't need this though, since it's able to find out the server by doing DNS SRV lookups.

	34
	35	<para>
[ee5c355]	36	In previous versions it was also possible to specify port numbers and/or SSL in the server tag. This is deprecated and should now be done using the <emphasis>account set</emphasis> command. This also applies to specifying a resource in the handle (like <emphasis>wilmer@bitlbee.org/work</emphasis>).

	83	Since Twitter now requires OAuth authentication, you should not enter your Twitter password into BitlBee. Just type a bogus password. The first time you log in, BitlBee will start OAuth authentication. (See <emphasis>help set oauth</emphasis>.)

[b27557b]	229	If you want, you can also tell BitlBee what nick to give the new contact. The -tmp option adds the buddy to the internal BitlBee structures only, not to the real contact list (like done by <emphasis>set handle_unknown add</emphasis>). This allows you to talk to people who are not in your contact list. This normally won't show you any presence notifications.

	446	Most IRC servers send a user's away message every time s/he gets a private message, to inform the sender that they may not get a response immediately. With this setting set to 0, BitlBee will also behave like this.

	450	Since not all IRC clients do an excellent job at suppressing these messages, this setting lets BitlBee do it instead. BitlBee will wait this many seconds (or until the away state/message changes) before re-informing you that the person's away.

	861	<para>
	862	Some IRC clients parse quit messages sent by the IRC server to see if someone really left or just disappeared because of a netsplit. By default, BitlBee tries to simulate netsplit-like quit messages to keep the control channel window clean. If you don't like this (or if your IRC client doesn't support this) you can disable this setting.
