I can't reproduce this bug with the latest code and Molly linked as a secondary device (#157). When I delete messages, they disappear from both apps.

It seems like Signal Desktop might be sticking to a 3-hour time limit for message deletion, which means you can only delete messages sent in the last 3 hours. But Molly doesn't enforce this limit for notes-to-self chats.
