From riot-web created by AmandineLP: element-hq/element-web#8829

at least on /app as 'Amandine turned on end-to-end encryption (algorithm m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2)' is ugly as hell

While chatting more with @ara4n, he would like to have some kind of handling of unknown algorithms at the same time as the propose hiding here. I think he came up with a decent approach:

  • When the algorithm is the one we expect (m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2), hide the algorithm as in this existing PR: %(senderName)s turned on end-to-end encryption.
  • For anything else, show the algorithm as unrecognised: %(senderName)s turned on end-to-end encryption (unrecognised algorithm %(algorithm)s).
