self-message support

Revision 1.0

When a server sends a PRIVMSG/NOTICE to someone else on behalf of a client connected to it - common when multiple clients are connected to a bouncer - it is called a self-message. With the echo-message capability, they are also sent in reply to every PRIVMSG/NOTICE a client sends. These are represented by a protocol message looking like this:

:yournick!~foo@example.com PRIVMSG someone_else :Hello world!

They should be put in someone_else's query and displayed as though they were sent by the connected client themselves. This page displays which clients properly parse and display this type of echo'd PRIVMSG/NOTICE.
