If you're sending plaintext out of an ostensible e2ee system, it's not an e2ee system. You have an 'end' that's not, you know, end-to-end.



The end that's relaying the plaintext is the user agent itself, not a third component in the system.


There is no 'relaying plaintext' in an e2ee system.


Sure, 100% agreed. But the way you phrased the earlier post implied that there was a third "end" to the system that was doing the plaintext leaking, and that's not the case (assuming I understood the description correctly, and it's accurate).
