  MemoServ is a utility allowing IRC users to send short messages to other IRC users, whether they are online at the time or not, or to channels(*). Both the sender's nickname and the target nickname or channel must be registered in order to send a memo.
  
  MemoServ's commands include:
  
  

  	SEND	Send a memo to a nick or channel
  	CANCEL	Cancel last memo you sent
  	LIST	List your memos
  	READ	Read a memo or memos
  	DEL	Delete a memo or memos
  	SET	Set options related to memos
  	INFO	Displays information about your memos

  
  Commands available to services admins only:
  
  

  	STAFF	Send a memo to all opers/admins
  	SENDALL	Send a memo to all registered users

  
  
  
• SEND
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ SEND {nick | channel} memo-text
  
  Sends the named nick or channel a memo containing memo-text. When sending to a nickname, the recipient will receive a notice that he/she has a new memo. The target nickname/channel must be registered.
  
  
  
• SENDALL
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ SENDALL memo-text
  
  Sends all registered users a memo containing memo-text.
  
  
  
• CANCEL
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ CANCEL {nick | channel}
  
  Cancels the last memo you sent to the given nick or channel, provided it has not been read at the time you use the command.
  
  
  
• LIST
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ LIST [channel] [list | NEW]
  
  Lists any memos you currently have. With NEW, lists only new (unread) memos. Unread memos are marked with a "*" to the left of the memo number. You can also specify a list of numbers, as in the example below:
  
  LIST 2-5,7-9 Lists memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
  
  
  
• READ
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ READ [channel] {num | list | LAST | NEW}
  
  Sends you the text of the memos specified. If LAST is given, sends you the memo you most recently received. If NEW is given, sends you all of your new memos. Otherwise, sends you memo number num. You can also give a list of numbers, as in this example:
  
  READ 2-5,7-9 Displays memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
  
  
  
• DEL
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ DEL [channel] {num | list | LAST | ALL}
  
  Deletes the specified memo or memos. You can supply multiple memo numbers or ranges of numbers instead of a single number, as in the second example below.
  
  If LAST is given, the last memo will be deleted. If ALL is given, deletes all of your memos.
  
  Examples:
  
  DEL 1 Deletes your first memo.
  
  DEL 2-5,7-9 Deletes memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
  
  
  
• SET
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET option parameters
  
  Sets various memo options. option can be one of:
  
  

  	NOTIFY	Changes when you will be notified about new memos (only for nicknames)
  	LIMIT	Sets the maximum number of memos you can receive

  
  
  Type /msg MemoServ HELP SET option for more information on a specific option.
  
  
  
• SET NOTIFY
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET NOTIFY {ON | LOGON | NEW | OFF}
  
  Changes when you will be notified about new memos:
  
  

  	ON	You will be notified of memos when you log on, when you unset /AWAY, and when they are sent to you.
  	LOGON	You will only be notified of memos when you log on or when you unset /AWAY.
  	NEW	You will only be notified of memos when they are sent to you.
  	OFF	You will not receive any notification of memos.

  
  ON is essentially LOGON and NEW combined.
  
  
  
• SET LIMIT
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET LIMIT [channel] limit
  
  Sets the maximum number of memos you (or the given channel) are allowed to have. If you set this to 0, no one will be able to send any memos to you. However, you cannot set this any higher than <num>.
  
  
  
• INFO
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ INFO [channel]
  
  Displays information on the number of memos you have, how many of them are unread, and how many total memos you can receive. With a parameter, displays the same information for the given channel.
  
  
  
• STAFF
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ STAFF memo-text
  
  Sends all services staff a memo containing memo-text. Note: If you have opers on both the oper list and the admin list they will recive the memo twice. The same applies for oper's on the Root list as well as other lists.
  
  
  
• SERVADMIN SET LIMIT
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET LIMIT [user | channel] {limit | NONE} [HARD]
  
  Sets the maximum number of memos a user or channel is allowed to have. Setting the limit to 0 prevents the user from receiving any memos; setting it to NONE allows the user to receive and keep as many memos as they want. If you do not give a nickname or channel, your own limit is set.
  
  Adding HARD prevents the user from changing the limit. Not adding HARD has the opposite effect, allowing the user to change the limit (even if a previous limit was set with HARD).
  
  This use of the SET LIMIT command is limited to Services admins. Other users may only enter a limit for themselves or a channel on which they have such privileges, may not remove their limit, may not set a limit above <num>, and may not set a hard limit.
  
  
  
• SERVADMIN INFO
  
  Syntax: /msg MemoServ INFO [nick | channel]
  
  Without a parameter, displays information on the number of memos you have, how many of them are unread, and how many total memos you can receive.
  
  With a channel parameter, displays the same information for the given channel.
  
  With a nickname parameter, displays the same information for the given nickname. This use limited to Services admins.
