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

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