I was thinking some about the metadata issues with nip 4 and was wondering if we could use a new nip that builds on nip 4.

We could send DMs as before only the decrypted content would contain proof that it was sent by the owner of a different npub. Clients could then verify this proof and display the message as though it came from that other npub.

Users would then be able to DM back and forth using any combination of random npubs and not leak any meaningful metadata.
