How to Clean the Text

OK, you are pretty good, you’ve got all your settings correct to avoid cluttering messages with useless indent marks. That doesn’t stop you receiving messages that have been through several forwarding sessions and they are full of indents. (Probably full of unwanted email addresses too!)

The good news is that there are free programs that can clean all of that out for you. That way you can send on just nice tidy text. All you have to do is copy and paste the original text, along with any forwarding indents, into the program. Clean it, then copy and paste into a new message.

One such program is EmailStripper,
