Okay, that's a horse of an entirely different color. That could very
well be an actual Telegram bug. I lack the experience with Telegram to
be able to diagnose it further, though the fact that Telegram lets you
delete messages and have them disappear *from the history of the account
you sent them to* should be noted (and that this is actually intended as
a feature, though I consider it much closer to a bug).
