is what is happening. But I would expect the parsing to ignore the
top lines of the message that contain the magic "--to: --<CR>"
and/or "--subj: --<CR>" lines as subject lines. After all, the real
body of the message is after those things.

You're dealing with separate lines of code.
--To:-- , --Subj:-- are specific for the bot to identify the To and Subject fields for the Fido side.

I believe Stas has said that if a message from Telegram is a reply to a Fido message, it retains the subject, but I could be mistaken.

But if the message originates in Telegram, or is a reply to a Telegram message written in Telegram, if it doesn't have the --Subj:-- line, it
is told to take the first line or number of characters in the message
body for the title. And those instruction lines for To and Subject are still only lines of text as far as anything is concerned unless the code specifically states otherwise.
