Description
### Steps to reproduce
**1. Create a public room with E2E encryption.**
**2. Ensure, that you allow users to access history messages.**

**3. Of course, there's only two ways to add new users to that room.**
- User add himself, because it's a public room (case A)
- User gets the invitation to that room (case B)
**3. In the case A, user CAN'T SEE the history of conversation, but in case B, HE CAN.**
**4. I'd like to point out, that this misinformation not affect private encrypted rooms, only public encrypted rooms, when user joining by his own.**
