Low-hanging fruit: /LIST fails with some servers |

Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/29.0.50 (gnu/linux) |
Problem:
Some servers seem unresponsive to the /LIST command.
Hints:
Can you find a network or an IRCd where this appears to be the case?
What happens when you remove `list' from `erc-modules' and issue a
/QUOTE LIST instead? What determines where replies are printed? What
does ELIST=CMNTU mean and is it relevant here? What's an easy way to
spy on traffic between ERC and the server? How might you create a unit
test for this issue? What precautions might be necessary to avoid
interfering with other tests?
Difficulty: 3.5
--
This series is for folks interested in getting involved in ERC. If
that's you, please find a way to reproduce the bug, and then open a
report via `erc-bug' with your solution. See CONTRIBUTE for more info.
