After closing a topic, I sometimes like to edit the ‘close message’ to provide readers with an explanation of _why_ the topic was closed. This works just fine with vanilla topics and messages, however I just noticed a bad interaction with [discourse-encrypt](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-encrypt):
Text for the benefit of search:
> This is a secret message with end to end encryption. To view it, you must be invited to this topic.
I created the topic. I can see the OP and all replies. Just not the final close message.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new encrypted message. For the sake of testing, you can address the message only to yourself, however the problem is also evident on messages that are addressed to a larger set of people.
2. Close the message.
3. Click the pencil icon on the close transaction.
4. Type a close message and save.
