I changed it to

(setq message-citation-line-format "On %a, %b %d %Y,%F %L wrote:\n")

is what I eval'ed and it doesn't seem to have changed the citation to
remove your email address.

What gives?

Ah, nice.  The documentation is obscure; from the changelog in Gnus info:

  * The option `message-citation-line-format' controls the format
of the "Whomever writes:" line.  You need to set
`message-citation-line-function' to
`message-insert-formatted-citation-line' as well.

The default is not clearly spelled out, and could probably do with an explicit
copy of that information in the help for `message-citation-line-format'.

I didn't notice that I have customized that variable some time back, either,
so the default doesn't match my running system. :)
