The format is: datetime, nick of last user, email address that send the email, and “wrote” o “escribió” in spanish, and this message is show in the reply, [example](http://foro.hacklabalmeria.net/t/estamos-mandado-emails-por-encima-de-nuestras-posibilidades/5653/4?u=miguelangellv)

Would be added a regular expression or something to remove the message?
