Of note: security didn't really enter into it from her perspective,
and all my friend really wants to do is send text messages; I actually
*did* tell her just to use Signal (she doesn't need to know or care
that under the hood I'm using a different protocol to communicate with
her than she is with all of the other people she texts on a day to day
basis).
