There is a bug in the [Radix javascript library](https://github.com/radixdlt/radixdlt-javascript) that causes a plain text (unencrypted) message that starts with the digit `1` to be incorrectly be identified as an encrypted message.

For example, the message `1 ring to rule them all` would be incorrectly interpreted as being an encrypted message.

This is a display bug only. The actual on-ledger data is correctly saved as plain text and will display correctly in the wallet and explorer when the Radix javascript library is fixed.

### Workaround:

Do not start messages with the digit `1` until the Radix javascript library is updated.
