<h3>Q: Why doesn't irssi display colors even when ircii etc. displays them?</h3>
<p>A: They force ANSI colors even if terminal doesn't support them. By
-default, irssi uses colors only if terminfo/termcap so says. The correct way
-to fix this would be to change your TERM environment to a value where colors
-work, like xterm-color or color_xterm. If this doesn't help, then use the
-evil way of <code>/SET term_force_colors ON</code>.</p>
