[IRCServices] /notice??

[ViPeR]

What you are talking about is more like a login system with 'email' aka
memos, that also happens to save a nickname for you.  This idea sounds
pretty cool, as it could handle a person using their privileges under any
nick, allowing you to use any extension like [zzz] or [away] [afk] etc etc
and still be able to access your functions, all this without the hassle of
registering all the nicks and linking them to your primary nick.  The idea
could work, but its a long way from the current IRCServices setup, and would
go more toward the idea of no access list for nicks, and nicks would become
more like logins. (ie the stuff Andrew discussed about version 5)
