I guess you aren't using the usernames-in-margin style, which renders like username does a thing
in italic.
Implementing what you described might be a bit messy, because the sender-name message formatter would have to render differently depending on the message type, whereas now only the body formatter differs by type.
At the moment if someone "emotes" (
/me does a thing
in IRC and in Element;s e
in Ement.el), the message face is different, but the formatting is the same as for normal messages.Traditionally a message of
foo
would be rendered something like<username>: foo
while/me does a thing
would be rendered as<username> does a thing
.The current ement.el rendering of the latter is more like
<username>: does a thing
which is confusing.Should there be a separate message format for emote events?
(Is that the only event type where a separate format would be useful, or are there others cases besides this one?)
