Cool Tool For When Copying/Pasting Text

lufbra · #1 June 20th, 2004, 02:05 PM

Mr. Ed's Bracket Stripper is a rather handy little web based "tool". It will "strip" all those annoying "brackets" from any text that you'd like to copy and paste elsewhere.....

So if you have text that has all these next to it....

<<<

<<<

Bracket Stripper will remove them all, cleaning up the text you want to post.

You can get the indent taken out of mail you send and also ask other to do it by going to OE Tools/Options/Send and then open both the Plain Text Settings and untick "Ident original text"
