It is usually called an attribution line or something like that.  I use
mutt (a text terminal mail client), and in its config I have:

set attribution = "Once upon a time, %n <%a> said:"

The "%n" is the full name of the sender and "%a" is the email address.

I got bored with the normal attribution line one time and changed to
that.  Looking back, I started using that in early 1996; maybe it is
time for something new!
