Package: bitlbee
Version: 1.2-4
Severity: wishlist

In the &bitlbee channel, I get two kinds of messages: 1) interactions
with the bitlbee daemon; and 2) messages from non-"buddy" users.

Because both kinds of messages claim to be from "root", this is very
confusing.  It's also impossible for me to use /ignore to ignore
unwanted messages from idiots.  Here is an example transcript:

    <root> jabber - New request: The user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
           wants to add you to his/her buddy list.
    <root> You can use the yes/no commands to accept/reject this
           request.
    <root> jabber - Message from unknown handle
           [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
    <root> You... you bloody basket!

I want these unwanted messages to seem to come from different nicks,
either

- as private messages (as is done for "buddies");
- as other nicks in the &bitlbee channel; or
- as other nicks in a secondary channel, say &unsolicited.

In this way, I can use my standard IRC tools to prioritize (ignore)
these unsolicitized messages.
