  Many thanks.  I see how it works much clearer now.

  My original diagnosis of my problem was wrong.  It wasn't a MODE
message that was triggering the buffer tracking.  It was that I was
joining an empty channel, and ChanServ was resetting the topic.  The
TOPIC message for this event was triggering the buffer to be tracked.
The problem went away when I did this:

   (add-hook 'circe-format-not-tracked 'circe-format-server-topic)


  Would this be a sensible thing to make default?  Speaking for myself,
I would never want a tracking notification just because a topic was set
in a channel, seeing as how those things are more often than not
automated by various bots.

  Thanks!
