    I just got pushed the echomail area: TG.ENGLISH_FROM_ZERO from 2:203/0.

    It contains unreadable characters for me. It might be Russian in UTF-8. But the messages don't contain a CHRS; kludge, so I don't know for sure.

    The path line on these are all:
    @PATH: 5055/182 5020/1042 221/6 1 203/0

    So it might be another telegram fido gateway, not run by Stas...?

    Any idea what TG.ENGLISH_FROM_ZERO is all about?

    I areafix'd it from Tommi's, but it's not on his nntp servers, so I have to wait for content.

    Do you think it's Telegram related? "Tg" does also seem to represent Teleguard, or something like that.

    No I have no clue. I didn't bother putting 1 or 2 messages into google translate. And have since deleted them.

    There's something coming through now, and as well as via nntp.
    But Thunderbird doesn't know how to treat the chars in the
    body. It seems to be 8-bit though.

    All echo conferences with the TG prefix are one-way broadcasts of Telegram channels in Fido on node 2:5055/182. All are available for subscription on my site (2:460/58). All of them are Russian-speaking. It is allowed to write to them from Fido, but nothing gets into Telegram.
    This echo conference, as the name suggests, teaches English. The encoding is cp866. Part of UTF-8 characters are not displayed in it.

    Hi Stas(?)

    Are you processing those?

    BTW.. I see that you are probably using some kind of anonymous posting method. Except for maybe "announcement" type of posts from you, I miss seeing the "From: YourName" in your your posts.

    Yes. All of them are available for subscription and rescaning on 2:460/58.

    posting method. Except for maybe "announcement" type of posts from

    This is a new feature of Telegram. I didn't notice it was enabled by default. Now I turned it off and there will be no more anonymous messages. ;)

    Have nice nights.
    Stas Mishchenkov.

    CP866 set as default for tg.* and *telegram* here now. So russina
    messages without @CHRS looks quite fine now.
