Hi August,

On 2020-08-03 18:36:19, you wrote to me:

Don't think so, because it says it should contain "Fido2telebot".

 AA> And the Subj field is used to identify the sender.

On the Telegram side. So I think it could be anything (i.e. a regular Subject) in the netmail.

 AA> I haven't found info how they steer those netmails to specific areas in the

I did a test, and got this reply:

Hi Wilfred van Velzen,

   I've got Youre mesage. All done.

@Via 2:460/58 @20200803.161408.UTC hpt/lnx 1.9.0-cur 2020-04-15
....

But I didn't see anything pop up in the Telegram fidonet.online group. So I don't know where it went...

Bye, Wilfred.
