Guide Review - Clippy 1.2.0 Email Cleanup Tool
Do you have quotation characters ('>') to remove, paragraphs to rewrap or HTML code to strip? Clippy has an agent for it. Since broken emails (received as replies to replies to forwarded HTML emails...) are typically broken thoroughly, you can combine any of these agents in Clippy to "Clippers", accessible from the Clippy tray icon and applied to the text in your clipboard with a few clicks.
Unfortunately, the action often most needed for emails is missing: Clippy cannot reformat an entire email in one go while preserving quotation levels. Clippy's other defects are mostly cosmetic — no display of text? — or peripheral — being able to assign keyboard shortcuts to commands might be nice —, though.
You can still use Clippy to clean emails swiftly or do more advanced actions (Clippy counts words, converts between DOS and Unix formatting as well as between white space characters and tabs, changes the case of characters and even replaces strings).
