 See also `help <option>', `help register' and `help identify'

identify

You must identify yourself to change your settings if your nick is
secure, and to use channel management commands.  In ircII on chiark,
just say `/blight-id'.  For other clients, see `help identpass'.
Once you are identified you can then register new nicks, change
settings, etc. - so long as you remain on a channel that I'm on too
(see `help invite').  See also `help register'.

marktime

set marktime off        Only an explicit `ping' command sends info.
set marktime once       Send ping info shortly after I first see you.
set marktime <interval> Also send info regularly (min. interval 5m).

register

register            register your nick (or make it secure)
register delete     delete your nick registration
register insecure   register your nick insecurely
 I only store settings for registered nicks.  For `insecure' nicks
 anyone who currently holds that nick can change its settings (see
 `help set', including securing it to their username.  `secure'
 nicks can only have their settings changed by the user to which they
 are registered, after identifying themselves (see `help identify').

tellme

The tellme command repeats any messages you have outstanding.
set tellme configures how you receive messages sent with tell:
 set tellme insecure              When I see you.
 set tellme secure [<interval>]   Hide body (reminding) until ident.
 set tellme reject                Do not accept messages.
 set tellme mailto <email-addr>   By email.  (Secure nicks only.)
Default: `secure 600'.  For insecure nicks `secure' == `insecure'.
To set when to consider messages delivered (see `help untell'):
 set tellme unreliable            Tell you once, then forget.
 set tellme remind [<every-interval> [<within-interval>]]
    Remind until you talk on channel within <within-interval>
    of me having told you.  (Default is remind 1h 30s.)
 set tellme pester <interval>     Remind until you say delmsg

timeformat

set timeformat ks    show times in seconds, kiloseconds, etc.
set timeformat hms   use days, hours, minutes, seconds
set timeformat beat  use beats (1000 B = 1 day)
