Taking a look now 👀

[neil-marcellini]

This is a very minor problem, but a new problem nonetheless. None of the PRs we deployed recently stand out to me, so I'll debug it and see if I can figure out what's causing the problem.

[neil-marcellini]

I tested this offline so I can inspect the optimistic data. It looks like the html message is right but the iouMessage is wrong.

Asked for feedback on whether we should revert (again again) in Slack here

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @Gonals eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

@Gonals, this Monthly task hasn't been acted upon in 6 weeks; closing.

If you disagree, feel encouraged to reopen it -- but pick your least important issue to close instead.
