When a quote post is made, the RE: is stripped and the quoted post is shown. => good

But when the quoted post is unknown (maybe my instance didn't have the quoted post yet and can't fetch it because the target instance is down), it doesn't show it and all you have is a normal looking, but completely out of context, post. Imo it would be better if it was somehow clear that it was a quote there.

Not sure how to best fix this. Not show the post at all? Don't strip the RE in these situations? Somehow still show it's a quote (similar to what happens with attachements, really)? Other options?

we could show something similar to the "this post was deleted" notices, where it's something like "this post has not yet loaded"
