While this message contains an attribution line for you, it doesn't
actually attribute anything to you. The convention is that any text
corresponding to a given attribution line has one more '>' at the
beginning than the attribution line itself. There are no such lines in
BartC's message. All of the lines which have the same number of '>' as
your attribution line are, in accordance with that convention, being
attributed to glen.

BartC should have removed your attribution line, since there's no
corresponding attributed text - but he's not misattributing anything.
