Description

### Steps to reproduce

When I type "15. April" in the webapp on Firefox and send:
- my own screen still shows "15. April".
- the recipient on Android-App 1.3.9, Matrix-SDK: 1.3.9, OLM: 3.2.4. sees "1. April"
- the recepient on Chrome 96.0.4664 sees "15. April".

When I type "15. April" in the webapp on Chrome
- same result, only the Android-App shows "1. April" (independent of the Markdown 'on' or 'of' on Android)

When I type "15. April" on Android-App with activated Markdown
- only the Android-App shows "1. April"
- Chrome or Firefox are showing "15. April"

### Outcome

OK, I learned that is Markdown. But all screens should show the same.
