What does the message "header" look like in Telegram? Isn't  
there a unique ID for each post and a trace to a reply?  I  
am thinking that it wouldn't be too much different than the  
msg references in nntp headers.

THAT is precisely what I was asking about months ago (but  
had wondered about for years) for an equivalent to the  
existing FILEFIND systems but for echomail messages.  I am  
glad someone was thinking of such a thing too.  It works  
rather well. How far back do you keep old messages?
