Description
narrowing on an IRC message where one person addresses another results in narrowing to their "conversation". e.g. M-N on this message:
-> freenode / #ubuntu-devel / pitti 22:59 (pitti!~pitti@ubuntu/member/pitti) GrueMaster: that kernel needs a reupload now (and will presumably get further updates), I'm afraid
changes my view to "irc-freenode-channel-#ubuntu-devel-pitti-GrueMaster", and just shows messages from those two users.
It's also somewhat common to address multiple people in a message, though. For instance,
freenode / #ubuntu-devel / pitti 23:08 (pitti!~pitti@ubuntu/member/pitti) SpamapS, james_w: hm, your new WI tracker change makes it crash now
or
freenode / #ubuntu-devel / GrueMaster 15:36 (GrueMaster!~Grue@076-076-148-180 pitti: sconklin: I have tested linux-image-2.6.35-24-omap for bug 673509 and it passed. I have updated the bug accordingly. Please see that this gets into -updates so I don't have to test it again, thanks.
(the former being much more common, I think) and BarnOwl's smartnarrow doesn't currently detect those.
I have no idea where you draw the line between a colon in the middle of a sentence, and a message addressing multiple people, but I'm sure there's something reasonably clever that can be done.
