       'mailfmt' is a Unix and Win32 tool for  reformatting  news
        and  mail messages.  It removes leading quotations strings
        (most often the '>' character, but this is user selectable
        from the command line) and wraps lines to a user specified
        width.  This allows news or mail messages which have  been
        extensively forwarded and/or quoted to be easily reformat-
        ted for ease of reading.

        On Unix systems, 'mailfmt' reads from stdin and writes  to
        stdout.

        On  Win32  systems, 'mailfmt' reads from the clipboard and
        then writes the results to the clipboard.  This is  really
        handy  if your are running a GUI mail client.  You cut the
        desired text (thereby placing it on the clipboard).   Then
        you  run  'mailfmt'  -  this  is best done with a keyboard
        shortcut - Then  paste  back  to  your  mail  client  and,
        voila!, your text has been reformatted.

        On  Win32  systems, the input and output can be reassigned
        to stdin and stdout using command line options.

        'mailfmt' can be found at:

        A FreeBSD port has also been submitted.
