That's the factor I've struggled with trying to explain when talking about why one thing or another isn't functioning like it does in Fidonet.

The messages themselves are written in Telegram the same way as any other IM or SMS message is.  There isn't anything that you can do about that.  Your bot converts that to MSG format used for Fido, and the reverse for Fido to Telegram.
