    If you reply via Telegram to a message that has an image attached, on the Telegram group it looks fine, but on the Fido side the reply is posted as a message to "All" without the image URL and no quoted text.

    The @REPLY kludge is ok, however, so if your editor supports thread linking you can find the replied-to message.

    Stas said he would fix this, but it seems he hasn't been able to do it yet.

    When replying to normal text-only messages tg_BBS does a good work.

    Thanks Carlos. I simply don't have the desire or energy to argue with people about the effectiveness of software as compensation for poor design. Stas has done a great job. It works pretty well as it is as long as the software you're using isn't completely braindead

    I figured it out because I saw it posted in the ELIST echo. The ELIST is

    Yeah well, I'm reading this on FidoNet. Not some garbage interface "app"
    that doesn't work properly. There was no context or quoting in what you posted.

    Yes. What's the percentage of people reading it on Telegram vs FidoNet?
    A pretty small number, I'd wager.

    The @REPLY kludge is ok, however, so if your editor supports
    thread linking you can find the replied-to message.

    Even that kludge doesn't help if you're reading FidoNet messages with an offline mail reader.

    Stas said he would fix this, but it seems he hasn't been able to

    That's debate-able too. It's pretty much a garbage/broken interface, from what I can see.

    Thanks. I hope it does get deleted.

    Reminds me of trying to read and follow threads on Usenet, in olden days. People that don't know how to quote or properly use the interface.

    The braindead software in this discussion is the Telegram garbage.
    Regular methods of writing/reading to/from FidoNet echos work just fine,

    You remind me of an "eternal-September" type of Usenet poster. Pfffftttt.

    Well, see there above? It *IS* possible (apparently) for the braindead
    "app" to quote context. I guess it must just be braindead *people* who *choose* to not quote. Right? I mean, there it is, right there above, although quite sloppy/messy looking.

    As for Fido, yes, it's *popularity / usage* has declined, which is not unexpected with the changes over the years (i.e. - Internet access). That wasn't the point, though. The *mechanisms* for exchanging messages
    continues to work just fine, unlike this kludge/garbage "app" junk that
    you think is an enhancement or something. It isn't. It's crap.
