When replying from Matrix, the QuotedMessage protobuf field was set to an empty string. WhatsApp Web works around this by looking up messages from its local cache, but the mobile app relies on this field to show the quoted message preview in the reply bubble.

This affects text messages, stickers, and polls.
This fetches the original Matrix event and populates QuotedMessage with the actual content (text body, caption/mimetype for media, etc).
