It also opens a dedicated chat buffer/window with the IRC service, so you can can keep using it with ease. You can also replace QUERY with MSG to obtain the same result without opening a dedicated chat.

kindling(only ifkindlingis logged in); - A mail message from the IRC server to
kindling's email address:
From: noreply.support@libera.chat To: "kindling" < ... > Subject: Libera.Chat New Memo [...] kindling, You have a new memo from foobar: Test message. To disable this feature, use /msg NickServ SET EMAILMEMOS OFF via IRC. -- If this message is unsolicited, please contact support@libera.chat with a full copy.
