eClean 2000 - Email Cleanup Tool

Heinz Tschabitscher

The Bottom Line

eClean 2000 cleans broken forwards perfectly out of the box and can configured to suit your requirements with numerous options. eClean 2000 is not so well suited for formatting replies, though.
Pros
  • eClean 2000 cleans emails perfectly
  • eClean 2000 is easy to use
  • Integrates with Outlook, works from system tray
Cons
  • eClean 2000 can't handle multiple quotation levels
  • Handling HTML emails works only with Outlook
  • eClean 2000 can undo only one step

Description

  • eClean 2000 removes '>' and other (configurable) characters found in forwards from emails.
  • Removes line breaks, empty white space, extra blank lines and even email headers automatically.
  • eClean 2000 can re-wrap the resulting clean text for easy reading, optionally indenting it.
  • eClean 2000 can operate as a standard application, in the system tray or integrated with Outlook.
  • When working with Outlook, eClean 2000 supports HTML emails, too (and converts them to plain text).
  • eClean 2000 supports Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/3/XP and (optionally) Outlook 2000/2002.

Guide Review - eClean 2000 3.0.1 - Email Cleanup Tool

Everybody seems to have those friends who forward everything. And if this wasn't enough, they (or their email software, rather) make sure the forwarded message is in a miserable state: > characters everywhere, and line breaks, too.

Such messed up emails are a pain to read — until you paste them into eClean 2000 and press the Clean E-Mail button. If you use Outlook, eClean 2000 is only one toolbar button away. Without much fuss, eClean 2000 turns even the most horribly formatted email into an easy read perfectly.

Using lots of options, you can make eClean 2000 do what you want. But while it cleans forwards wonderfully, eClean 2000 is not so well suited for formatting replies as it only supports one level of quotation.
