======Synopsis:======
[[on]] [<modes>]general_privmsg [<serial#>] [-|^]<match> { <action> }

======Description:======
This hook is triggered whenever the client receives a [[..MSG|PRIVMSG]] from 
another client.

Encrypted privmsgs that are suppressed with [[on encrypted_privmsg]] will
not generate an event for this hook.

======Parameters:======
|$0    |nickname of message sender |
|$1    |target of PRIVMSG |
|$2-   |text of message |

======Default action:======
If you do not suppress this event...
  * If this message is sent to a channel you are on by someone who is not on the channel, the client will throw an [[on public_msg]] event.
  * If this message is sent to one of your current channels, the client will throw an [[on public]] event.
  * If this message is sent to one of your non-current channels, the client will throw an [[on public_other]] event.
  * If this message is sent to your nickname, the client will throw an [[on msg]] event.
  * Otherwise, the client will throw an [[on msg_group]] event.

======Restrictions:======
If this hook is used in silent mode, the corresponding [[ON MSG|MSG]], [[ON
MSG_GROUP|MSG_GROUP]], [[ON PUBLIC|PUBLIC]], and [[ON
PUBLIC_OTHER|PUBLIC_OTHER]] hooks will not be thrown.

The client does not permit automated responses to a [[MSG]] with another
[[MSG]]. Such replies may use [[NOTICE]] instead.  Any attempt to use MSG
within this hook will be automatically converted to a [[NOTICE]].  The whole
point of this is to prevent loops between clients.
