The author of PoC had some really good reasons to do that, n'est pas?

The robot does pass all original messages "as is". But when it generates _new_ _message_ with the reply, it _must_ (as in FTA-1006) make sure nothing would affect further processing of that message.
Quoting the original message back (as in FSC-0032) could be a good solution. However, the FSC-0032 explicitly states: "Kludge lines, including tear lines and origins lines are not normally quoted, but when they are - they must never be quoted exactly - this definitely causes problems with other software!"
