I've been using xchat for ages, but everything I've tried to get @ci or
even #ci to be recognized as a highlight word by xchat has failed so far.
After a bit of digging, I found
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Stalkwords#X-Chat_.26_HexChat which
helpfully pointed me at a perl script to allow regex highlight matching in
xchat. I haven't tried it yet, and I'm reluctant due to a bit of nasty
history with xchat plugins.  A better solution in the long run may be a
different attention string, or a different irc client. I thought I'd throw
this out there just in case others are hitting this too though.

Thanks,
Paul Larson
