• A Fidonet/Telegram User Guide

    From August Abolins@2:460/58 to All on Tue Dec 29 03:46:17 2020

    ==================================
    === A Fidonet/Telegram User Guide ===
    ==================================

    This guide is intended to assist the user who uses
    Telegram to read and post to the Fidonet echos represented
    by the "tg BBS v0.6.x" service operated by "Fido by Telegram
    BBS by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)"

    Most command operations are constructed by starting the command with two command-symbols and terminating the command with two command-symbols and a new line. The command-symbols can be any of the following:

    - . , = + / $ and their combinations.

    Currently there are three commands:

    SUBJ: (for specifying a subject)
    TO: (to address your message to a specific name)
    CC: (to generate a copy of the message to another echo)

    Additional spaces between the commands is optional.
    The commands are not case senstive.

    Examples
    ========

    [1] You can specify a custom subject:

    ==subj: this is my custom subject==


    [2] You can address the message to a specific name:

    //to: firstname lastname//


    [3] You can send a copy of the message to any other echo that
    the tg BBS knows about:





    Only one tagname is allowed per command line.


    Examples of usage:

    [Message 1]

    ..subj: #### ..
    // To: Brother Rabbit 2:460/5858 //


    [Message 2]

    ++ subj: #### ==
    ..To: Brother Rabbit 2:460/5858..

    [Message 3]



    //to: firstname lastname//

    NOTES:

    Normally, when a message is posted, the first 40 characters of a
    message will be used as the Subject.

    This posting is subject to change and updates.

    Go right ahead. Tweak it, twist it any way you see fit that would
    correct anything I got wrong or something I missed.

    Obviously, your bot stripped out the examples I used for the CC-
    commands. :( Maybe, we can add a special "prefix" like
    "__Example #:" on those lines:

    __Example 1: //cc: TAGNAME1//
    __Example 2: ..cc: TAGNAME2..

    Excellent. I wasn't sure if I wanted to expound on talking about
    specific commands to the Fido2telebot. But sending "netmail" is
    worth mentioning, for sure!


    Examples of usage:

    [Message 1]

    ..subj: #### ..
    // To: Brother Rabbit 2:460/5858 //

    My bad. For those examples, I copy/pasted from the message you
    posted a little while ago:

    MSGID 2:460/58 000000c1 on Dec 2.

    That one had the spaces.

    Cumming has a slightly different meaning in english than coming.
    If you truly mean the former, then be careful out there. ;)

    If this text is sent from Fido or by the bot, then nothing will happen and it will remain unchanged.
