Description
Since you have to mention the nick if you want to .tell, if the user leaves themselves afk on the channel, you take the risk of setting off a sleepytime notification in simply mentioning them in the .tell. So I’d suggest either:
- A change to
irc-privmsg-meso that you can/MSG tellable6 tell nick@channel …; or - A change to
normalize-weirdlyto strip out tildes (~), which are not allowed in nicks. Then you can do.tell trey~harrisor some-such to keep the channel from ringing the user.
I’m capable of submitting a PR for either if you want to just select one. Thanks!

Research direction

Decide with the maintainer which proposed behavior to implement, and verify that a private .tell no longer triggers the channel notification behavior.
