Outlook Express Freeware

What are these strange emails?

Also known as arrows, Thorns, Spikes and Greater-Thans, those chevrons indicate text that has been forwarded from a previous email, or emails. It happens by default in most email programs but I agree it can get a bit untidy, especially if the message in question has been doing the rounds. If you want to stop it occurring on messages sent from your PC, and advise others, if they are using popular email programs like Outlook Express, Windows Mail etc., go to Tools > Options > Send. Under Mail Sending Format click Plain Text Settings and deselect ‘Indent original text with ‘>’ when replying or forwarding’.

You can’t remove the arrows from a received message but you can copy and paste the text into a word processor then use the Search and Replace facility to remove the arrows and save it as a text file or a new message. Otherwise you can use one of a number of freeware utilities that do the job automatically on copied and pasted text. Try EmailStripper or Strip Mail .
