NOTICEs are ignored

[anonymous]

If the IRC client tries to /NOTICE an IM user, the /NOTICE is silently ignored/dropped. This should basically be converted to a PRIVMSG and sent to the IM client instead (since they probably don't differentiate between PM and NOTICE).

This is mainly noticeable when using bots, etc. that reply with NOTICE.

Here is a modified irc_cmd_notice() to support the change:

static void irc_cmd_notice( irc_t *irc, char **cmd )
{
	irc_user_t *iu;
	
	if( !cmd[2] ) 
	{
		irc_send_num( irc, 412, ":No text to send" );
		return;
	}
	
	/* At least for now just echo. IIRC some IRC clients use self-notices
	   for lag checks, so try to support that. */
	if( nick_cmp( cmd[1], irc->user->nick ) == 0 )
	{
		irc_send_msg( irc->user, "NOTICE", irc->user->nick, cmd[2], NULL );
	}
	else if( ( iu = irc_user_by_name( irc, cmd[1] ) ) )
	{
		iu->f->privmsg( iu, cmd[2] );
	}
}
