[Erc-discuss] erc-track.el & ignoring bitlbee away messages

[Mark Plaksin]

I use ERC to connect to a bitlbee server.  When I have autoaway turned on,
bitlbee generates messages like these in my /query-generated buffers:

*** You're now away: I'm gone (autoaway after 955 seconds of idletime)
*** Welcome back

Both of these messages make erc-track.el tell me that those buffers have
had activity.  I want erc-track to ignore these messages.  The only way I
found to do it is the attached patch plus this:
(setq erc-track-ignore-list '("^[*][*][*] Welcome back" "^[*][*][*] You're now 
away:"))

Is there a better way?  If not, do you like the patch?
