maqp: > What you send is out of your hands by the time the recipient receives it. I would argue it is already out of your hand after pressing the send button and being online, because your connection could drop right after that, the server delivers the message anyway. (Other concerns in my post above.) I get OP’s point wanting a feature that would not show edits before first read, after all, no one would (need to) know if the edit was preemptive.
