Hi Matthias,

I appreciate your feedback and reasoning, but I stand by what Nathan here
said in all his previous e-mails (for which I thank, as I think they are
constructive and correct). Note that we will, when time allows, also
support "consumption" of media messages - which means if you view a video
or listen to an audio your *friend* has sent you, we will notify them about
that fact. This is how Telegram is expected to work, and one of the reasons
why people actually like it. We understand this may not be a fit-all
solution, but we do not plan to allow disabling this features. However, if
you do reach out to Telegram and convince them for clients to allow such
setting, we can re-open the bug you have filed.

Thanks,
karni
