59290 2002-07-02 21:40:00 What email program are you using?

Does it not have an edit-find-replace option, where you can replace < with nothing??

59291 2002-07-02 21:53:00 I got a Word macro from this PC World site a couple of years ago called "Fixmail". Not sure if it is still around but I could soon send it to you or copy it out here for you.

You just copy the email contents into Word, run the macro and it deletes the line breaks. I'm sure someone with a bit of nous could alter it to include those << marks as well.

In fact if anyone would like to kindly do it for me I'd be grateful. :-)

59294 2002-07-02 23:50:00 I use Stripmail as it tidies up paragraphs as well as removing the chevrons. Think it was on an NZ PCWorld disc. Try this site for freeware yippee.i4free.co.nz Capital (813)
59295 2002-07-02 23:55:00 You can just go here:
www.sarrchasm.com

Better than downloading and installing yet another free/shareware program ;)

59297 2002-07-03 00:21:00 Hi,
will this Ecleaner work for Windows ME? I went & had a quick look but it does not mention ME. I am currenlty putting on Mailwasher it sounds like it might be useful.
Thanks. :)

59298 2002-07-03 02:34:00 I just copy to MS Words, highlight, then go to edit/replace and replace < with a space, it whirrs and clicks the < 's disappear. Then copy and paste where it needs to go.

Not sure what I would do if < was an important component of the email.
