I just signed in with #[3]​ ‘s npub and I can read some kind of messaging thread… still a bit confusing.

I get that the nsec makes the npub signing complete but it is unusual to see these messages that maybe the senders are assuming will be private.

You should be able to do the same with anyone's. My understanding. Public messages are not encrypted, but I believe DMs are encrypted meaning you can see events and profiles but not DMs.

Here's what I see in DMs using a public key .... Gibberish as I don't have the private key to unencrypt. I can see who they were talking to just not what. I believe this is consistent across clients for this event type.
