'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.

A FreeBSD port has also been submitted.
