I've been using xchat for ages, but everything I've tried to get @ci or even #ci to be recognized as a highlight word by xchat has failed so far. After a bit of digging, I found http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Stalkwords#X-Chat_.26_HexChat which helpfully pointed me at a perl script to allow regex highlight matching in xchat. I haven't tried it yet, and I'm reluctant due to a bit of nasty history with xchat plugins. A better solution in the long run may be a different attention string, or a different irc client. I thought I'd throw this out there just in case others are hitting this too though.
