Is there a way to distinguish, just by looking at the encrypted strings, between NIP-04 encryption and NIP-44 encryption?
@hodlbod you mentioned that you had developed a way to detect the encryption type in DMs and switch between them according to what the other party is using. Do you have more details on that?

Yeah, NIP04 payloads include `?iv=` near the end. But the bigger difference is NIP 59 uses kind 1059 and NIP 04 uses kind 4
But the encrypted content of a custom list can't be distinguished that way.
No? Isn't nip44 base64 encoded? `?` and `=` aren't valid b64 characters, so I think the check still works.
Yes *that* check works. Checking the kind doesn't work.
