 Note that in case of using externally built (i.e. not in-tree) libQuotient
 you cannot choose whether or not E2EE is enabled; this is defined by your
 libQuotient build configuration. Since 0.8, it is strongly recommended to build
 libQuotient with E2EE switched on, and manage E2EE via the library API (which
-Quaternion already does, by now). If you build libQuotient from within

+#### No E2EE support
+If you don't see "Enable E2EE (BETA)" box in the login window, it means that
+your Quaternion build does not support E2EE at all. Work with the packager if
+you use a package, or build Quaternion with E2EE support (see

+#### Older messages don't get decrypted in E2EE rooms
+Unfortunately, this is a limitation in the current libQuotient code: it doesn't

 #### No messages in the timeline
 If Quaternion runs but you can't see any messages in the chat (though you can
 type them in) - you might not have Qt Quick libraries and/or plugins installed.
