10.4: Fix Mail's reply attribution line

Just a quick note for the maybe-bewildered vi-haters: You can't do this in pico. Maybe because of the file's encoding, you can't view the text properly. vi of course works fine, or you could use Pseudo to get super-user privileges for a GUI app.

Another way to edit the file (which is in UTF-16) is to use text edit -- save the file to your desktop and then drag it to /system/...

You will be told you can't do it, but do you want to authenticate. When you do, it will ask you to replace.

Then simply reboot.
