This isn't true.  I have an account on AT&T Mail, but don't log into 
it at all except to send messages.  Received messages are 
automatically forwarded to my internet mail account (on our Vax at 
Hayes), and are right there along with all of my internal VaxMail 
and internet mail.  You could do exactly the same thing with 
incoming telexes on AT&T Mail -- forward them to your regular email 
account or to your fax machine, your choice.

The only "hitch" is changing your telex number.  I have no idea if 
automatic forwarding is available from one telex number to another.
