We’ve all received emails that have been forwarded 2, 3 or more times and have the annoying prefixes on each line, like this:
>>hi
>>this is my forwarded email
>>don’t you hate
>>the prefixes?
Well if you can handle basic cut-and-paste, there’s a great little utility called emailStripper that will clean all that “stuff” out, so you can post it in a forum, or start a nice “clean” email message or whatever. Check it out: http://www.papercut.biz/emailStripper.htm

Yeah, but keep in mind, it is a cut-and-paste operation. So you receive an email with a bunch of those characters (“>>>>”) in front of each line. You open emailStripper, then switch back to your Hotmail window, highlight the text you want to strip, switch back to emailStripper, paste it in, then click “strip.” It cleans up the text automatically, but then you need to click emailStripper’s copy button, switch to Hotmail, compose a new email, and paste the text in.
Sounds like much more work than it really is. ![]()
