Today I want to look at a tool which is free, small and very indispensable if you get lots of forwarded emails.

Whenever an email gets forwarded to a lot of people, the edges of the sentences start to become populated with >>>>>>>. The formatting of the text is all pushed out of whack and the whole thing looks like a mashed up dogs dinner. Enter Email Stripper.

When you next receive a messy email and you want to forward that email to someone else, run it through Email Stripper first. Just copy and paste the email contents into Email Stripper, click “strip it” and the text is instantly and perfectly formatted back the way it was originally along with the >>>>>>’s removed. You can then copy and paste the re-formatted text back into your email window ready to send once again out into the wilderness of the World Wide Web.

It’s a simple tool but extremely effective and it will rapidly become invaluable in your internet toolbox.
