+
+ Change this setting to customize how (or whether) to show self-messages, which are messages sent by yourself from other locations (for example, mobile clients), for IM protocols that support it.
+
+
+
+ When this is set to "true", it will send those messages in the "standard" way, which is a PRIVMSG with source and target fields swapped.
+
+
+
+ Since this isn't very well supported by some clients (the messages might appear in the wrong window), you can set it to "prefix" to show them as a normal message prefixed with "-> ", or use "prefix_notice" which is the same thing but with a NOTICE instead.
+
+
+
+ You can also set it to "false" to disable these messages completely.
+
+
+
+ This setting only applies to private messages. Self messages in groupchats are always shown, since they haven't caused issues in any clients so far.
