Is there any safe freeware or shareware program that will clean the >> marks in forwarded email?

Question

Sometimes there are four or more of these marks before each sentence. I hate to forward email that way. It's hard to read. I once had a program on my old computer that eliminated them, but can't remember the name. Can any of you guys help me out? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes try emailstripper

I don't know which email client you use,but in Thunderbird you can edit them out

Answer 2

No need to download any shareware or freeware program to do this.
Simply copy and paste the text with the >> characters into a blank page in Microsoft's WordPad program. This is available by clicking on "Start", then slide up to "Programs", Slide to "Accessories", and then left click on Wordpad.
Once you've pasted the text into that wordpad page, go up to where it says Edit, and then click on "Replace". Where it says, "Find What", type in one > symbol. Leave the rest of the choices alone, and just click on "Replace All". That'll get rid of all the occurences of the > symbol in the text. Now you can do with that text whatever you wish. Good luck.

Answer 3

I agree I hate it when I get a page full of >>>

I use Clipmate to remove them before I forward them but it isn't free. It is a clipboard program that has a "clean up text" option.
