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.

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.

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 channel 2-5,7-9 - Lists memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9

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.

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.

Sets various memo options. Options can be one of the two listed below, also a more detailed description of each is slightly farther down the page:

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

Type /ms HELP SET option for more information on a specific option.

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.

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 15.

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.

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 15, and may not set a hard limit.

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.
