I don't understand what is the problem with NOTICE :
TypeError: name has no properties @ <chrome://chatzilla/content/lib/js/irc.js> 675

i got this error when i type :
/notice <user> <msg>

If i type :
/msg <user> <message>
I can see my text message in the channel (so as a notice command), but the user
targeted receive a query.

If i type :
/query <user> <message>
I see a new query tab with the USER. And the user targeted receive also a query.

The user targeted doesn't see difference between local /query or /msg, but i don't.

Otherwise, /notice command Crash. :-(


(escuse me for my bad english, but i'm french. Send me email if you want explain
in french :)))

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open chatzilla
2.connect to a server

4.see the error.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
display a notice message, the same as /msg command, BUT display a notice message
to user targeted (not same as /msg)

Could you provide some more information, like the version of ChatZilla? (The
easiest way is to do "/about" and then copy the first line of the output.) Also,
it may be important what the user you tried to send a notice to was.

The /msg and /query commands actually send the same thing (IRC has no concept of
QUERYs), but the second command also opens a window. If the other user is using
ChatZilla, both commands will trigger a query window to open by default. Notices
never cause query windows to open.

CC-ing Lissyx.
Reporter, you're using the French version of ChatZilla. The French version 
misses some locale information which in this case buggers up /notice.
Lissyx, I checked version 3 of your xpi for 0.9.68.5. It misses 
cmd.notice.params and cmd.notice.help. Please add them to unbreak this stuff :-
)
Additionally, the links on the homepage for stable/unstable builds are kinda 
broken. I have a funny feeling that whatever script is used doesn't have any 
variables set for the version number (they refer to files like 
chatzilla<somestuff>-stable-.xpi, without a number. You may want to fix that, 
too.

Since this bug doesn't concern the English version of ChatZilla, and we have 
no control over the localised ones, I'm closing this as INVALID. Please 
resolve any further issues using the French ChatZilla forum, or by email with 
Lissyx himself.

Ok, thanks for your bug report.

I've just released some new files, merging with 0.9.68.5.1, and fixed the
website (this was due to paranoid security changes :) made yesterday.)
I've tested this new release on a Mozilla Suite 1.7.11-fr, with Chatzilla French
Pack, and it worked like a charms now.

So, it's to be considered as solved.

The original summary for this bug was longer than 255 characters, and so it was truncated when Bugzilla was upgraded. The original summary was:

Error when i tried to notice a User : " TypeError: name has no properties @ <chrome://chatzilla/content/lib/js/irc.js> 675 ". /MSG command is display such as a Notice message, but in the target client, it is display as a Query. If I try ton /QUERY or to /MSG someone, this person doesn't see the difference.
