Steps to reproduce

Element version: 1.12.11 web
Crypto version: Rust SDK 0.16.0 (82e97d4), Vodozemac 0.9.0

Sent a silent message below, but Element Web https://app.element.io is notifying me via desktop notification.

message :

{
  "content": {
    "body": "testing",
    "format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
    "formatted_body": "<pre>testing</pre>",
    "msgtype": "m.notice",
    "org.matrix.msc1767.silent": true
  },
  "event_id": "$c_V8w_9ZF--event_id_redacted--",
  "origin_server_ts": 1772449297843,
  "room_id": "!--room_id_redacted--",
  "sender": "@--sender_id_redacted--",
  "type": "m.room.message",
  "unsigned": {}
}

Element Web doesn't implement that field.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/main/proposals/1767-extensible-events.md doesn't include a org.matrix.msc1767.silent field.

In fact, I wondered if it had been split out but: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pulls?q=%22msc1767.silent%22 so I don't know where this came from. @mds512 do you have a source for this field?

Plus MSC fields once the MSC is merged are not valid after a short grace period anyway. org.matrix.msc1767.silent is not even a thing Google can find reference to anywhere.

@Half-Shot

The below code was written by AI around 4 months back. The "silent" flag used to work on Element Web, but not in the new version.

    # 2) If the client explicitly asked for silent, tweak it here
    if "silent" in msg.__fields_set__ and msg.silent:
        print("got a silent message?~@?")
        content["msgtype"] = "m.notice"
        content["org.matrix.msc1767.silent"] = True
        content["body"] = f'{date_}\n{msg.body}'
        content["formatted_body"] = f'<pre>{content["body"]}</pre>'
        print(f'changed content body to {content["formatted_body"]}')

[t3chguy]

I suggest taking it up with your AI. The MSC it chose to use does not bear that flag nor did Element ever support it. You're more than welcome to inspect git history to try prove me wrong.

@t3chguy Okay. Sorry for wasting your time.
