Couldn't automatic retry be a thing for when all delivery failures are only network-related?
Telegram and WhatsApp have the ability to send messages whenever you want, after which a clock icon will appear that'll wait until it is either delivered or sent.
With Element I often get the feeling that delivery failures are also given in turbulent network conditions, which make retrying extremely cumbersome.
I'd really like to have such a robust delivery system such as Telegram and WhatsApp be in place in Element, where firing off a message on a good server (though a bad network), will have its delivery time not be an if, but a when. (Whenever the network allows it, keep retrying until it does.)
