 No, the bug is that npub1 DMs npub2 and mentions npub3 and npub2 gets a fake DM from npub3.
So, then they write npub3 and ask about the DM because they can't open it. 
 aaaaaaah oh my god. now i know why i got so many DMs. pipo were gossiping me. oh my god hahahahahaha Thank you .  
 this happened to me like six months ago.  a bunch of people wrote me saying i messaged them. and i was like, i did not. you could clearly see from my end of the chat, they started the conversation. it was so freaking weird i thought people were pranking me. and thats how i started distancing my self on #nostr from certain people.  
 I also thought it was an elaborate troll, but it was starting to come from people I doubted would troll me. 
 isnt that sort of what is supposed to happen though. petty shit coming from the ones least expected? im not surprised.  i feel sad for people with time to discuss me in their DMs. tbh .  
 Well, the person who wrote you didn't even get the DM, probably. They just got sent one that they can't read, that seemed to be from you. 
 they get the DM with the mention from who ever they are discussing with. those are the contents you cant read since you'd need either nsecs to decrypt it. dunno whether that makes sense.  
 the client should simply not tag the person that's not the recipient; we no longer need positional tagging, so there's absolutely no reason to p-tag the non-recipient
