[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#662661: Need a way to suppress notifications (such as standard messages from NickServ)

[Josh Triplett]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.2.2-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

Every time I log into various IRC servers, I get a pile of messages from
NickServ and similar services ("please register your nick", "please
authenticate", etc).  With GNOME 3, all of these messages become
notifications, which rapidly gets obnoxious.  I'd like some way to
suppress specific messages from specific nicks on specific servers.  (I
don't want to suppress *all* messages from NickServ, just the stock ones
it needlessly sends on every login.)
