Remove Excess Quote Characters When Forwarding Messages

SUMMARY: Make forwarded e-mail easier to read by removing quote characters.

If you've ever received a message that has been forwarded multiple times, it may have looked like the following:

> > > > > > > Here is a great joke for you to read:
> > > > > > > Why did the chicken cross the road?
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > >

If you really want to re-forward this message to someone else (please do not forward spam, urban legends and hoaxes, etc.), do the recipient a favor and remove the excess > > > symbols. You can use your e-mail software's find and replace feature to replace all multiple instances of > characters with just one > per line, making the e-mail much easier to read.
