       '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 respectively,  using  the  -i  and  -o
       options.
 
       Normally, errors on a Win32 system will appear as GUI Mes-
       sage Boxes.  If, however, you choose to output  to  stdout
       via  the  -o  option,  all  errors  will  be written there
       instead.
