+Activity

+
+The first (left) character:
+
+Character | Meaning
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------
+ ! (red) | You're not connected to the server.

+ M | Last msg was a private message to you.

+ Q | .... quitting IRC.
+ blank | Idle, or none of the above (e.g. nick or mode changes).

+The last message indicator will disappear after a few seconds of idle
+time, or when you switch screens.
