Upon investigation, the main problem turned out to be the colon in "C:",
which "john" interprets as field separator.  This should work:

C:\> python telegram2john.py "Telegram Desktop" > telegram.txt
C:\> john telegram.txt

That is, just omit the "C:\" and instead be on that drive in that
directory.

And we should probably fix telegram2john.py to replace any colons in the
pathname with benign characters.
