One possibility: The material Dan quoted appears below his signature.
Some mail applications suppress quoting signatures (presumably
everything after the "--").


that's exactly it; two hyphens is a standard (actually borrowed from
Usenet) to denote a signature block; Dan combined top-posting with a
signature line, which put the entire quoted material into the signature
area; Ann's email client is trying to be efficient by stripping what it
thinks are signatures when quoting for replies


I had this (at the time) baffling behaviour with NS7.x some years ago.
