Many people forward text that has been forwarded to them (See Forwarding Email) and you face something that looks like this:
>> > The quick
> >>brown fox jumped
> >>over the messy looking message.
Sure, you can read it. But if you are going to send it on to a friend and just forward it, it may get to him looking like:
>> > >> The quick
> >> >>brown fox jumped
>> > >>over the messy looking message.
The courteous thing to do is to get rid of those prefixes.
-
Just go to your EDIT menu and chose REPLACE.
-
In the "Find" window type >
-
Leave the "REPLACE WITH" window blank.
-
Click REPLACE ALL.
They are all gone!
The quick
brown fox jumped
over the messy looking message.
Now, if you want, you can do a little more cleaning up by going to the end of each line and typing a space and delete so it looks like this:
The quick brown fox jumped over the messy looking message.
Now that you have done this, copy the text to a NEW email and delight your friend(s). (See Forwarding Email)
For an even better way to do this see ...
Can I interest you
in a stripper?
I have, and sometimes still do violate some of the rules listed here. I promise to try and do better.
