t

Documentation

Determines whether new frames are always created.

Non-nil means only create a frame for undisplayed buffers. Nil means always create a new frame. Regardless of its value, ERC ignores this option unless erc-join-buffer is frame. And like most options in the erc-buffer customize group, this has no effect on server buffers while reconnecting because ERC always buries those.
