Steps to reproduce

  1. During an operation that involves sending keys with another user, Alice experiences a network failure
  2. Bob doesn't receive Alice's keys, and they might not be sent again for an undetermined amount of time

What happened?

Bob will see messages like ** Unable to decrypt: The sender's device has not sent us the keys for this message. ** when trying to read Alice's messages, until such time as Alice's keys are sent again

What did you expect?

The keys should be resent shortly after connectivity resumes.
