Documentation

If non-nil, print timestamp in the minibuffer when point is moved.

Using this variable, you can turn off normal timestamping, and simply move point to an irc message to see its timestamp printed in the minibuffer. When attempting to enable this option after erc-stamp-mode(var)/erc-stamp-mode(fun) is already active, you may need to run the command erc-show-timestamps (or erc-hide-timestamps(var)/erc-hide-timestamps(fun)) in the appropriate ERC buffer before the change will take effect.
