Now you can write private messages from Fido to
Telegram. You only need to know the user ID of the
addressee in order to substitute it in the field
ToName. Each message through the gate contains the
TGUZERID kludge and it can always be copied from there.

Very cool. I will commence with such a test shortly.

If the gate does not know the user's telegram address
in Fido, then a kludge to REPLAYTO will also be
substituted, which will further facilitate writing a
response with a netmail.

I don't quite understand that part. Are you saying that
your gate keeps track of a Telegram's TGUZERID (which your
system no doubt creates and assigns) ..and if we just use
the NAME it will look up and compare it for a matching
(authorized) TGUZERID user?

Not certainly in that way. Each user has a unique ID in Telegram. Yes, the gate can match it with the username..

OH.. @username! That's different from what I thought. I thought the system looks up the full UN LN that arrives in the REPLYADDRESS.

Now that I created a @username for myself, I'll try it.

I think somehow the bot initated some kind of chat
message first?

The bot itself cannot initiate a chat.

Interestingly, I opened a chat to the bot, and received the
2 netmails already waiting for me! Very clever. :)

PMFJI, but were those the test messages from me? If so, it is
interesting that the bot "holds" the messages until the receiver
opens the chat with it. That's not too bad!

Hi, August!

Not certainly in that way. Messages are stored on my server and are sent after the recipient has opened the chat. In practice, they can be stored there for an unlimited time.

Have nice nights.
