Did it make sense with mIRC? IRC clients wrap the name in angle-brackets, not a colon. This sounds more like AIM.

I remember it with mIRC, but it might have been a false memory, you're right! Then again, it might have been some custom styling that enabled it?

Anyway, it definitely is the case for stuff like ICQ (I double-checked ๐Ÿ˜บ).
