MSG %|[-<server tag>] [-channel | -nick] <targets> <message>

Sends a private message to other user in the network.  Only you and the receipient will be able to see the private message.

It is possible to digitally sign your messages.  The receiver may then verify the message with your public key.  By default messages are not signed.  If you want your private messages to be signed you SMSG command instead of this MSG command.

If -channel option is provided then this command actually sends channel message to the specified channel.  The message IS NOT private message, it is normal channel message.  It is also possible to digitally sign channel messages by using SMSG command or by doing /set sign_channel_messages on, in which case _all_ channel messages will be signed.

Examples:

/MSG Toni Hi, what's up?
