If we focus solely on Gnus's message.el, message-insert-citation-line
can be relied on to use whatever was in the "From" header. From what I
gather from RFC 5322, that should at least include an "@" sign.
That only covers Gnus's "writes:" though. Spelunking in lisp/gnus for
other verbs featured in gnus-cite-attribution-suffix, I get the
impression that other MUAs tend to follow suit, but that might be
wishful thinking.
Assuming false negatives (failing to highlight) on articles from
"non-conforming" MUAs are less annoying than false positives
(highlighting part of a line that's not introducing a citation) on
"conforming" ones, I'm still not sure where the right "fix" would
belong.
gnus-cite-attribution-suffix's job is to match just the final verb
before the citation, so I think it's fine the way it is. There's
probably a way to teach gnus-article-highlight-citation that it
shouldn't apply gnus-cite-attribution-face to the whole line, but I'm
not familiar enough with the code to see how to go about it.
