I found something too.  Looks like an independent experiment at 2:460/58 in
special echotag/areas named RU.FIDONET.areatag

Translated from the Russian, with my addition of [kludge?], I got this:

"To post to the telegram destination you "write a netmail message to 2:460/58
and the name Fido2telebot, In the subj field we indicate your name in the
telegram. In each gated message from you, the @RealName treasure [kludge?] will
be added from the telegram. "

So.. the To field identifies the group/area at Telegram. And the Subj field is
used to identify the sender.  Doesn't sound too elegant if the gate can't simply
use the From field to identify the sender.

I haven't found info how they steer those netmails to specific areas in the
RU.FIDONET.areatag structure.
