Description

Whenever I get a new message, the content of the message displays in the notification. If I disable "Display desktop plaintext notifications" the notifications don't show at all.

Is there some way to enable notifications with something like "Message content hidden?"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the notification behavior on Linux with “Display desktop plaintext notifications” enabled and disabled. Trace the desktop notification entry point and determine whether a hidden-content notification can be shown; done means notifications remain visible without exposing message text, with behavior verified in both settings states.
