I had the same Problem, but found a solution.

The first hits on google indicate that one has to edit the source and recompile it to change the Message. This is not true (at least for the version in the karmic-tree). There are variables available which aren't mentioned in the manpages or the default warnquota.conf, but in the source Luke Faraone already quoted: 
MESSAGE and GROUP_MESSAGE change the text before the details, 
SIGNATURE and GROUP_SIGNATURE the text after the details. Others like CC_BEFORE aren't documented either. 

The latest version on sourceforge contains a quite long warnquota.conf
with nice comments. Using this instead of the current one would solve
the problem. I'm quite new here, so I don't know how to do that, but it
should not be a big problem to update this file in the repositories...

my versions: 
quotatool version 1.4.10 
Quota Utilities Version: 3.17
