   Hello August!

 AA>>> How much use is the Telegram/echomail gate getting?

 SM>> I don't quite understand what you mean.

 AA> I meant, how much activity do you measure through the gateway?
About three hundred messages per day, excluding mine.

 AA>>> How many participants are there?

 SM>> About 120.

 AA> I see 100 in fidonet.online now.  Are you including additional users

 AA> OR.. is it just the two groups that the user Fido2telebot is a member
 AA> of?   I see Fido2telebot in the PVT.ZONA and fidonet.online groups.
fidonet.online, PVT.ZONA, FidoNet.unoficial

 AA>>> How many different echos are you processing?

 SM>> There is three groups of Telegram available publicly, any
 SM>> Telegram user can join. Several echoes is gated for my personal

 AA> Would you be inclined to expand the concept to an english-speaking

Why not?

When a bot reads a message from a telegram, it still cannot know what @MSGID it will have in Fido. So replay tree can not be made for now.

 SM>> Feel free to ask me.

 AA> I've already started; see above. :)
You are welcome.

 AA> bad  system at all.  The S)earch feature is awesome.
Try my Fidogle on 2:460/58. ;)

Some kind of this is in Fido too. Look at https://brorabbit.g0x.ru/uue/
 AA> I think you already mentioned that when your gateway processes a

Yes.
