Hi, August!

17 авг 20 19:51, August Abolins -> Tony Langdon:

 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> provide
 AA> the offline stash you need.  A couple of the available commands are:

 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
 AA> of them as a netmail to be gated into the Telegram group, you could
 AA> construct your replies offline.

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.

Have nice nights.
       Stas Mishchenkov.
