wildblue 7 #1 September 2, 2004 So you have this hilarious email that you're dying to forward to everyone or post on a message board. Take 3 seconds and make everyone you send it to a little happier with you. 1 - Start Wordpad (I already know you're running windows, you have wordpad) 2 - Copy and paste the hilarious content into wordpad 3 - Highlight the "> > " (including spaces) and copy that 4 - Go to the Edit menu, then Replace 5 - paste the "> > " into "Find" and leave the "replace with" box empty 6 - Click "replace all" Now copy and paste that into the new email. Trust me, it takes about 4 seconds to do. Now at least we don't have to see all the >> > >> And please, please, please... take all the other header information out. I don't really want to trace the history of that email back 3 years and scroll through tons of crap to get to it. Actually, if I have to click open (I use outlook) more than once, I just delete it... I don't bother. If you're really feeling helpful, take out some of the extra spaces and line feeds, make it look pretty again. Thanks, and happy forwarding!it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #4 September 2, 2004 Even if it's cleaned up, a forwarded email is still annoying. Even more annoying is the stupid fuckers that post a forwarded email. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!
