Quote text is never set #35

Webmention has a quote field but, as far as I can tell, it's never set.

I assume it would be good to set it in mentions.tasks.incoming_webmentions.process_incoming_webmention() using a tweaked _update_wm() function, but I'm not sure if you have in mind what text the quote should be?

Maybe use BeautifulSoup to try a few ways of getting something representative from the source page? Maybe grab the .e-content's content (falling back to.h-entry, then trying <main>, then trying the meta description?), and then use the HTML-stripped, start of that?

Not really. I think I added it with the intention of the user (at the time, myself) manually picking whatever excerpt they liked and adding it in the admin pages.

I think it's worth exploring this though. Getting the right context for a mention might be tricky for a general case but your suggestions sound reasonable.

P.S. Thanks for this and the other recent issues - I'm focussing on another project at the moment but will get back to this asap to sort them out!

(This one hasn't been touched yet but now that the more problematic issues are fixed in 3.0.0 I'll try and do something with it)
