Headline

Can't get encryption keys for messages in new direct chats from prior to joining.

Description

In order to reproduce, have another person start a direct message chat in conduit and join. The first message will be unable to decrypt, but all messages after join seem to work fine.

This is especially troublesome, because some clients require you to send a message as part of room creation. So conduit users always miss out on the very first message.

I just noticed this as well, I recently switched to running my own Conduit server and it seems like when I send a DM (at least in Element) that first message will fail to decrypt.

Having the same issue on Conduit 0.7.0-alpha. First incoming message in DMs is "Unable to decrypt message".
