This happens when sending messages that contain links to web pages. Telegram
seems to query the linked page and adds content to my message sent history,
making it look as if I had included that content.
The desktop version of telegram seems to be much more "creative" in this
respect. But also the app adds contents, like images taken from the referenced
page, to my history. this means, I cannot send a link via Telegram, without
having Telegram query that link. I'm not sure if this is really a security
issue, but it certainly is highly undesired behaviour.
It lowers my trust in Telegram: The messenger must not read the mail he
delivers.
