How to remove ">>>" characters from mail and rewrap mail text?

<< < (3/3)

jaden:
Just as an FYI, Notepad++ can do this.

Select all the text.
TextFX Tools -> Clean eMail >Quoting
TextFX Edit -> Unwrap Text

You really can't go past StripMail. Small. Free. Been around for years. Is a stand-alone program that handles any such text you throw at it for stripping then formatting then copy/paste it back to wherever you need it. Only downside I found was that the formatting occassionally left a bit to be desired but the character removal worked spot on every time.

jaden:
The main reason I prefer Notepad++ is because I'm already using it for text editing.  However, it's a pain to have to go through those menus to find the two options.  It took me a good 5 minutes to find them.

It's the classic debate between a simple application that does one thing well (stripmail) and a more complex application that does lots of things (notepad++), but not as well (or at least easily).

I tried creating a macro but it failed miserably.

I might have to start using stripmail myself  :)
