How to know the precise moment when the messages are being written to a file? Is there anything visible on screen to indicate that?
How to know, as a user, if the file is sent and thus which messages were sent correctly or received correctly by the mailbox (own or contact's in case that the writer doesn't have one)? This would be necessary to know, so we can check that any messages not delivered correctly still show in Briar mailbox as 'not sent' and can still be re-sent?
This can include scenarios:
- Sender sending a message file to own mailbox, when mailbox is online or when it is offline, recipient can come online before the mailbox returns online, or they cancoem online after the mailbox has returned online.
