    Why not simply have a shared file on the Telegram side that people can download?

    I do not know how to do that. ;)

    It's done automatically when we "attach" a file as a "file" (as opposed to a photo) in a message. Then that file will show up in the GroupInfo section.

    I will do a test for that in this message.

    But.. I can see a problem with that especially if would be an echo/group list that keeps changing. However, some kind of file-naming convention like TGLISTyymm could be adopted to represent the most current list.

    That one file could summarize the usage wrt to customizing the SUBJ or the TO and the recent CC, and include a section of the linked echos.

    It is possible to do this, but the message to each new user seems to me more effective.

    Yes.. an automated pvt post to the new user with the contents of a README file with all the current echos and command options would

    And now I know why. Any attachment automatically triggers the "body" (or message) to be a "caption". And a caption seems to be limited to about 950 chars.

    Hi, August!

    Thank you. This message helped fix a bug in the code. ;)

    opposed to a photo) in a message. Then that file will show up in the GroupInfo section.

    Good. I understood what this is about. This is not an option. Some groups have too many files.

    I will do a test for that in this message.

    But.. I can see a problem with that especially if would be an echo/group list that keeps changing. However, some kind of file-naming convention like TGLISTyymm could be adopted to represent the most current list.

    It can just respond to the good old command %LIST. ;)

    Wow! You did it beautifully. Thank you.

    Have nice nights.
