:tell
tell <nick> <message ...>
Leaves a message for someone, which will be delivered according to
- their `!set !tellme'. See also help on `!tellbounce' and `!delmsg'.
+ their `!set !tellme'. I will tell you about your undelivered tells
+ whenever I see you arriving, or when you say `!ping'. See also
+ `help !untell' and `help !delmsg'.
-:tellbounce
-!set tellbounce after <!interval> (Default: 80h.)
- If undelivered (see `help !tellme') longer than that, I will:
-!set tellbounce discard Just throw it away. (Default.)
-!set tellbounce tellme <interval> Try a bounce `tell' that long.
-!set tellbounce mailto <email-addr> Email you. (Secure nicks only.)
+:untell
+!untell <nick> ...
+ Forgets about all message(s) you've sent with !tell to particular
+ nick(s). Use !delmsg to delete messages sent *to* you. There is no
+ way to untell individual messages to the same nick. If your nick is
+ secure, you must !identify yourself to use untell.
: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. (Default.)
- set tellme secure Hide body until secure ident.
+ set tellme insecure When I see you.
+ set tellme secure [<!interval>] Hide body (reminding) until ident.
set tellme refuse Do not accept messages.
set tellme mailto <email-addr> By email. (Secure nicks only.)
-and also when to consider them delivered (see `help !tellbounce'):
+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 pester <interval> Remind until you say !delmsg
- set tellme reliable <interval> Like pester, but identify req'd.
- set tellme remind <every-!interval> [<within-interval>]
+ 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
:delmsg
delmsg [<nick> ...]
-Forgets about messages I've told you about: either all of them, or
-only those from certain nicks. Necessary if you !set !tellme pester
-or reliable, and also works with remind, but not with unreliable.
+ Forgets about !tell messages I've passed on: either all of them, or

:ping
ping [<string>]
actual message traffic counts, and \!-commands don't count either.
* The specified string, if any.
I can tell you this automatically if you like - see `help !marktime'.

+let you know about those too (privately, if you ping on channel).
:marktime
