This is the email cleanup program I use to get rid of those >>><<<<< pests.
I didn't apply it to this response. The program is simple to use,
straight-forward, unpretentious, and not loaded with any other "activities"
or marketing ploys. It downloads quickly and I've got a shortcut which I
can activate (Run) when needed for specific copy, paste, clean, copy and
then send activities.
