When people reply to message on Discord its contextless on IRC, as you just see the reply without any reference to the original message.

There's a few ways this could be improved:

  1. Warn them not to do that, like multi line messages
  2. Mention the user that's being replied to
  3. Quote the message that's being replied to

A few of us spoke about this and concluded #3 might be difficult due to character limits enforced by some IRC servers, and as multi-line messages aren't a thing you can't put the quote on one line and the reply on another without the risk of someone else's message appearing in between.

I think my preference would be #2, or perhaps #1 and #2 with the behaviour specified in the config.

Cheers
