Ideas for a #Nostr client to use... an optional feature for when you send someone a DM it either sends out both a nip04 AND nip44 message. This way, no matter what client the recipient is using, they'll receive the DM.

Or, the client checks the recipient for support of nip89 and based on user's client knows whether nip44 is supported or not.

I can't tell you how many times I've sent a DM and the recipients never get it because their client has either dropped support for nip04 and only uses nip44 or vice versa and hasn't yet added nip44 support.

In my experience, most people can receive NIP-04 messages, while only some can receive NIP-44 messages. And the problem which you've correctly pointed out is that if you send a message the recipient can't receive, you never get any kind of notification so you just have assume they got it, or not. There should be some mechanism to alert when the recipient doesn't accept certain message types. Or some sort of fail over where it tries NIP-44 first, and if it fails, falls back to NIP-04.
