Good work! Yes, I believe, InspIRCd truncates overlong messages instead
of sending ERR_INPUTTOOLONG 417 or similar [1] (which is also annoying).
Unfortunately, ERC doesn't currently provide a granular way to configure
options (like `erc-split-line-length') per-network/session/target. FWIW,
we've often mused about perhaps repurposing the half-baked and long
abandoned option `erc-settings' to serve as something of a proxy or an
analog for connection-local variables [2]. If anyone out there is
interested in taking on such an initiative, ERC will be forever
grateful.
