There are 3 ways to connect to the eggdrop.

1: Normal DCC chat

2: Eggdrop reverse DCC chat

3: Telnet

Normal DCC chat will provide IRC code based message formatting.

Telnet will provide Telnet based message formattiing.

This formatting inclyude underline, bold, and so on.

The reverse DCC chat method, is more of a hack, that causes your IRC client to telnet to the bot. Thus, you are seeing this code.

There two ways to fix this, 1 of which is dependant on your client.

If you are using a newer version of mIRC, you can use the ANSI conversion setting. This will convert the codes into IRC formatting codes before mIRC displays them.

The other method is to use ".fixcodes" once connected to the bot. This will change the mode eggdrop thinks you are in.

In versions prior to 1.6.14 (1.6.14 is not out yet, but there is a fix in the code) you will need to type ".fixcodes" twice, if you have the echo setting off (using ".echo off").
