title: Telegram bot API: get message id to forward it
body: <p>So, I need my bot to forward a message of a chat. But in order to do so, I need to get the id of the message I want to forward (it's an old message). How can I get the id of that message so I can send it?</p>
  
  <p>This is the code I'm using</p>
  
  <pre><code>@bot.message_handler(func=lambda m: True)
  def reply_ids(message):
      cid = message.chat.id
      bot.reply_to(message, "The message id is: " + str(message.message_id) + " This chat ID is: " + str(cid))
  </code></pre>
