Sending a privmsg is in breach of the RFC - a msg is used when you need to
solicit a response, wheras a notice is used for information. If people (or
their scripts) ignore it then that's their problem. Note that sometimes
scripts ignore notices from Global, and I think a global notice from an oper
is usually better (on Bahamut: /notice $*.yournet.net your message). Oh, and
don't post to this list in HTML please :).

Does anyone know of  a service or raw command out there that allows me to
send a global /msg rather than a global notice. I know it is possible with
PTLInk services - but I don't want to switch (again) In my experience people
see a /msg more often than they notice a /notice.

Thanks :D
