Warn that article will be saved as webpage #207

This is a feature request.

When you save a webpage to pocket, typically it's because you would like to read it on article view, on mobile or any device. However when some web pages are not supported, they are saved as web page instead of article and this happens silently. You only realize of the issue when you try to open it after.

It would be nice to be alerted that a web page was not saved as article from the moment we save it by clicking on the extension button.

@cossio Thanks for the suggestion!

Might be able to just have the copy say "Saved as Webpage" as opposed to "Page Saved" when the page is not able to be parsed. Would that cover your use case effectively?

I will need to look into how much info comes back in a timely manner. It's not always clear how something will parse until it comes back and that may not be as quickly available.
