Your armour absorbs the <foo>'s blow
I suggest you get a similar special message for GDR: if the enemy's damage roll is less than your GDR, such as

Why not make this the message any time a monster hits you for 0 damage? Why would you care whether it's GDR or plain old AC that does it?

To be fair, it does make your AC number go up a lot. That in turn makes you get more 'the foo's attack does no damage' messages. However, you're correct that you never get any positive message directly credited to your plate armour.
It would be messy to say the least, because what order do you process AC in? If the foo would have done 1 damage if you had 1 less AC, should your helmet get the credit?
The negative messages credited to your armour and/or shield are much more straightforward. Your base attack roll beat their defense roll, but after your armor modifier, your attack roll isn't high enough, so it's your armour's fault.
Stupid crawl, making me spell armor like an englishman...
