Description

Sending messages with poor connectivity, found that if the message fails to send, clicking the "retry" link just does nothing at all. Or at least doesn't indicate that it is doing anything, like attempting to resend in the background and failing again for some reason.

This is for iOS client. Retry does seem to function on OSX client.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failed send and tapping the Retry link under poor connectivity on the iOS client. Compare the behavior with the working OS X client and inspect the iOS retry flow once its entry point is located. Done means retry visibly attempts the send and reports a subsequent failure or success.
