Hi, August!

AA> Telegram offers the API and code stuff: "The Telegram API and TDLib
AA> allow you to build your own customized Telegram clients."
If I'll find perl API, I'll try...
AA> Maybe someone can build a client that can gleen and store messages
AA> locally.
Now it can be done by gating to Fido.
AA> Meanwhile... maybe Stas' Fidogle@2:460/58 could be leveraged to

AA> %FromDate dd/mm/yyyy
AA> - search starting from the specified date inclusive.
AA> Same the format dd.mm.yyyy can be used. Optional parameter.
AA> %TillDate dd/mm/yyyy
AA> - Searches up to and including the specified date.
AA> You can also use the dd.mm.yyyy format. Optional parameter.
AA> Each match arrives as a separate netmail message.
AA> THEN, if there is a way (I think it is turn off right now) to reply to one

I have never thought about this possibility of using the search in Fido. Search was conceived and implemented much earlier than the Telegram gate.
However, there is a small "but". Gating of netmail to telegram groups is not planned. There will be an option to send private messages, which I am currently testing.
