 If I use Oxchat to respond to DM's on Nostr, but the person I'm messaging uses Primal, is there a chance he/her won't receive anything?

 I’m on primal. Send me a DM to test… 
 Thanks, I received your message and responded. 
 Not seeing your response on DMs in primal. I’ll check in a few minutes in case there is a delay. 
 Looks like it's a NIP-17 related thing. Thank you for helping me test!!

Either way I just responded through Primal as well. 
 If the person uses primal odds are something will always go wrong. 
 Yes. I have had that be an issue for me in two instances. 
 This explains a lot haha, thanks for confirming 
 I wonder if adding the primal relay would help? 
 Good idea, let me check that out 
 Already had the relay on my list 
 He/She won't receive DMs because Primal doesn't support NIP-17 DMs, while 0xChat uses NIP-17 DMs by default to protect metadata leaks
