Marc, it has not been the convention of the project thus far to mention a
particular author in a particular file.

At all times, files have been marked with the team copyright, and no
"originating author" - anything written for SquirrelMail is a team
contribution.

I think it should stay that way (copyright SM team only, no author
notations). Please do not add the notes back, thanks.
