I got the same reaction... so in private.php I found:

// quote reply
$originalposter = fetch_quote_username($pm['fromusername']);

and changed it to:

// quote reply
// $originalposter = fetch_quote_username($pm['fromusername']);

then change:

if ($_REQUEST['stripquote'])
				{
					$pagetext = strip_quotes($pm['message']);
				}
				else
				{
					// this is now the default behavior -- leave quotes, like vB2
					$pagetext = $pm['message'];
				}

to:

$pagetext = strip_quotes($pm['message']);

and then in the postbit, I changed:

	<if condition="$post['replylink']">
			<a href="$post[replylink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" align="absmiddle"/></a>
		</if>

to:

	<if condition="$post['replylink']">
			<a href="$post[replylink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'">reply_small2.gif<else />reply_small.gif</if>" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" align="absmiddle"/></a>
		</if>

and then saved a reply gif as reply_small2.gif uploaded that, and now everyone`s happy again..
