Wait a sec; There is no general option to enable tracking in all channels and/or all query windows. You have to switch it on on a per user (nick) or channel base. May we assume people will only do this on channels were they feel home and/or with other user they know personally and trust? There is no *big red button* to enable this minor gimmick.. It is an option in the 'System Menu' (in the top left hand corner of a window) together with other things like logging and timestamping. >With the cooperation of an mIRC user (thanks Lindy_!), I found that it >does exactly as it says .. Yes, of course, otherwise it would be buggy. In all exploit examples you thought of it is simply a matter of disabling the URL tracking you have set active for the channel or query. End of problem.
