That's not the issue :-)

The omission Chris is referring to is: in earlier messages, you were
stripping the “attribution line” from directly above the quoted
material. That makes it anonymous, and it becomes difficult to track who
said what.

The attribution line looks like:

    “On Sunday, May 10, 2015 at 9:18:55 PM UTC-5, Chris Angelico wrote:”

without the quote marks.

You need to preserve the attribution lines – as you did on the message
just now, that I'm replying to – in order to show who wrote what quoted
material.

Only remove attribution lines if you're *also* removing all of the
attributed material. Keep attribution lines for the material you're
quoting.
