"Dumb" question coming up :)

How did you manage to insert a subject line in a *new*
message with the Telegram app?

Not dumb at all. All I simply did there was type in
"Testing from Telegram." and hit send. It used the same
line of text for both the subject and message body.

On a brand new message originating on the Telegram side, the
gate takes the first words in the message to use as the
Subject.

That is why I wrote "MID: 2:460/58 5f50f239" from the Telegram
side in such a way so that the first few words would
specifically imply the right subject for the message.

I am sure Stat could adapt the Telerame gate to utilize
something like "[key]" tags in the body of the messages to be
used for specific things on the FTN side, if he wanted.

[s] = Subject

(And I have to translate in my head that TG = Telegram and
not Telegard) ;)

Hmmm. Maybe we should adapt a new short-form for Telegram for
use here? TGM or TgM (Telegram Messenger)?

Stas is a master programmer. ;)

For a new message that originates from the TgM side (except for
New User annoucements), he takes the first few words of the
first line of text.

If a TgM user uses the proper R)eply option, then the original
Subject line is maintained for the thread.

So, it would be a good idea to not start all new messages in
TgM with "Hi.." ;) ..and just get right to the matter and
describe the purpose/subject in the first sentence.

I still haven't figured out how to use the TGID for netmails yet.

Just send a netmail message to: <TGUID>@2:460/58

Let's use TgM?

[s] = Subject

From the very beginning the tag is already used --Subj: put something here--

Have nice nights.

See my previus post and, in addition, how does one "see" the TGUID kludge with TgM?

Yep, go for it :)

Excellent opportunity for me to ask where is the message list in TgM and
how do we follow a thread in TgM?

Yes, quite :))

You don't. It's only visible on the FTN side on messages that arrive from TgM.
