Post Body

Hello, I am trying to configure ERC to give me a desktop notification when any message is sent in particular channels.

I looked through the code of both erc-desktop-notifications.el and erc-notify.el and neither of these packages support this feature.

It seems that I could potentially edit the erc-notifications-PRIVMSG function from erc-desktop-notifications.el to add the desired feature, however I am not able to figure out how to detect the current channel name from this function.

I was wondering if anybody knows of a way that this can be done.

(edit: I cross-posted this to SO)
