Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Have a poor connection (0-1 cellular bars, distant WiFi, etc.) or no connection
2. Send a message
3. Observe that the check mark only appears later when the connection improves

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

The message *and* decryption keys arrive successfully at the receiving devices.

#### What happened instead?

The message arrives without decryption keys, so other users see the "this could take a while" message. The keys never arrive.
