I'll say it as I always do. One time I threw together a "blurred version of your text is shown as you type, becomes clear when you hit enter" and it was some of the nicest instant-messaging I've ever had with another person. Blur was the trick, to give a sense of the length and activity, but not the message.

As a person who constantly writes, rewrites, edits, reads, edits, deletes, and rewrites, that sounds completely awful. I don't even like having typing notifications.

    Just going to say it. It sounds like you are using the wrong medium. What you're doing is emailing, nothing wrong with that, but imagine if someone talked as you described face-to-face. It would be a very weird experience.

Throw a short LLM summary in there also, that will mask the content and also give everyone an idea of what the message contains without revealing the message contents until it's sent.
