Comment 10 for bug 1475915

Telegram's support sent me a mail on July, 26. I can not copy it here due to the fact they have sent it only to me and Michał. They claime that their "read" status is an important advantage of the service over email and other message communications. It is in their opinion an integral feature of Telegram and they are unwilling to consider any change.

I replied to them:

Hello Telegram Support,

Thank you for your message.

No, I have not contacted <email address hidden> by email, but using the web form
https://telegram.org/support

Please consider reading this bug report in bugs.launchpad.net to get a
full picture about the issue we are talking:

Please be so kind and make your Comment there. Or Michał Karnicki or I
could make a summary of your statement there. I'd prefer that you do it.

Finally, I will not hide, that I'm very disappointed about the style of
your answer, an answer without taking into account that some potential user of
your service sees a violation of privacy, implemented by Telegram.

Kind Regards

Matthias
