for reference, this is how the Matrix event looks like:
```json
"content": {
    "body": "i might be able to sneak something out of our lab. but that's like the size and weight of a typical gpib device IME",
    "format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
    "formatted_body": "i might be able to sneak something out of our lab. but that's like the size and weight of a typical gpib device IME",
    "msgtype": "m.text"
  }
```
