For some reason, a telegram I recently received was deleted, seemingly because my inbox was full, instead of the oldest one.

More likely because the sent telegram was deleted, or the sender was. I don't know the specifics, but it sounds like what you're describing.

The sender doesn't appear to have been deleted, and I know I didn't delete the telegram myself. My full inbox + a bug seems to be the most plausible explanation.

If your inbox is overfull, some telegrams will be deleted the next time you log in to get your number of telegrams back down to 20.

On that note, why is there still a limit of 20? Every other site I've posted on has a cap of hundreds, thousands, or none altogether; it isn't 2002 anymore, and I don't like games with premium features (which NS has become in practice, what with the introduction of the NS Store and all) anyway.

Yes, I know that a full inbox means telegrams are deleted. However, the deleted telegrams are supposed to be the oldest ones, not the most recent one.
