Hi, August!

AA> What does the message "header" look like in Telegram?
A message in a telegram is a tree-like object in which there is quite a lot of information, not all of it is currently used by the gate.
AA> Isn't there a unique ID for each post and a trace to a reply?
Yes.
AA> I am thinking that it wouldn't be too much different than the
AA> msg references in nntp headers.
Probably yes.
AA>>> Now that I am in Telegram and looking around, I see
AA>>> that it's not a bad system at all. The S)earch
AA>>> feature is awesome.
SM>> Try my Fidogle on 2:460/58. ;)
AA> THAT is precisely what I was asking about months ago (but
AA> had wondered about for years) for an equivalent to the
AA> existing FILEFIND systems but for echomail messages.
Moreover, it works in such a way that you can also find a file by name or even part of the description. This is due to the fact that echoes with announcements of file echo processors are also viewed.
AA> I am glad someone was thinking of such a thing too. It works
AA> rather well.
Glad it might be helpful.
AA> How far back do you keep old messages?
In fact, my base is not very old, only two or three years, but most of the echoes do not purge at all.
