That MR only removed the message ID assignment but did _not_ remove the text altogether. On the other hand other messengers, including Telegram and WhatsApp, don't do this (they don't forward quotes together with messages). I argue that doing this is not expected by most users, and is bad for privacy. Forwarding a message should only forward that message, and not carry any more information. How I came to this: I was working on #8053 trying to undestand why the quoted message ID defaults to the last message of the target chat. And, thanks to 3f27be9, I questioned: "Why are we forwarding quotes in the first place?". So this also closes #8053. Note that this commit does not alter `quoted_message()`. That's for displaying old messages, and for compatibility with senders that do not remove the quote from forwarded messages.

Uh oh!
