   Hi Charles!   
      
   05 Nov 20 06:33, you wrote to me:

   Yes... they are specific to the bot, as commands, and therefore maybe should   
   not be considered as part of the normal message after being "used".  Netmail   
   in nntp and bbs systems operates similarly; if the first line in the body is   
   something like "to: fn ln, z:n/f.p" then that info is used to build the   
   necessary FTN header for netmail, and then discarded. The rest of that   
   original message is the actual message content.   
      
      
    CP> I believe Stas has said that if a message from Telegram is a reply to   
    CP> a Fido message, it retains the subject, but I could be mistaken.   
      
   Yes, I am familiar with that.   
      
      
    CP> But if the message originates in Telegram, or is a reply to a Telegram   
    CP> message written in Telegram, if it doesn't have the --Subj:-- line, it

   Perhaps the code could include something to "remove" the --subj:-- and/or   
   --to:-- lines of text - afterall, they are "instruction" codes, and not the   
   message.
