<p>The plaintext contained in the ciphertext matches the format described in <ahref="#plain-text-message">plain text message</a>. Specifically, it consists of a four byte timestamp, a flags byte, and the message. The flags byte will generally be <code>0x00</code> because it is a "plain text message". The message will be of the form <code><sender name>: <message body></code> (eg., <code>user123: I'm on my way</code>).</p>
<p>The sender name is unverified message text. Group messages contain no sender
signature, so any channel-key holder can choose any sender name.</p>
