rcirc – Emacs Multi-User Internet Relay Chat Client

rcirc is an Emacs Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client. It is a multi-user chat protocol. Users communicate with each other in real-time. Communication occurs both in topic channels which are collections of many users, or privately. It allocates separate buffers for each server and channel, and includes tab completion and inbounds message timestamps.

It allows opening new buffers for composing messages, useful for multiline work. All IRC commands are bound to control-c command shortcuts. Sound alerts are available for private messages and for when a user’s nick is mentioned in channel.

There is little or no reason to customize it because it does what you want by default. It allocates separate buffers for each server and channel, and includes tab completion and inbounds message timestamps.
