Guide Review - Quote Stripper 1.3 - Email Cleanup Tool
Guess what Quote Stripper does — yes, it strips quotation characters from emails. Quote Stripper is a friendly little and simple utility that removes those dreaded '>' chars from text upon the click of a toolbar button.

Unfortunately, there are some limitations that restrict Quote Stripper's usefulness. Quote Stripper only recognizes '>' as a quotation character and can't re-wrap the text after removing them (or, at least, remove newline characters).

You also can't have Quote Stripper insert proper quotation characters for use in email replies.
