bug: Quoting a message with a photo in iOS breaks encryption and stops web clients from loading messages
Describe the Bug
When you send an image while quoting someone’s message in an encrypted team, the iOS client sends the msg field as plain text (! unencrypted !), likely truncated at the newline character. This causes base64 decoding errors in browsers and prevents web clients from continuing to use the channel. More technical details about this can be found in issue RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.ReactNative#6817. I created two separate issues because the server side requires validation of incoming data, while the iOS application needs a fix for the described bug.
Steps to Reproduce
In the RocketChat iOS client, you need to quote someone’s message and attach a photo from the phone’s gallery as your own text.
