And to follow up with what Peter said, putting

(setq erc-auto-query ‘buffer)

will create a new buffer for each IM to you.

EmacsWiki has a couple of methods for getting alerts when you get a private message.

I opted for the my-erc-page-me-PRIVMSG route.

Nathaniel, you don’t have to worry about prepending nicks in the public channel if you start a new private message with people. This will place each IM conversation into a dedicated buffer. It also helps you figure out who just talked to you in IM.

You do this in the public channel by issuing a “/q nick” command. I also have ERC configured to create a new buffer when someone messages me.
