- When one is emailed a folder where each item starts with a "From "
- header line, these lines get prefixed with a ">".
- To make such a folder readable again by Elm, the ">"s need to be
- removed. Is there a utility available for this?
- If not, what is the *EXACT* command to give to "vi" in order to
- remove those ">"s? Of course *ONLY* on those header lines; I'll
- accept any such occurances in the contents of the items (though
- not really gracefully...).
-
- A propos, where in the whole email chain does this ">" get prefixed
- to the "From " lines, and is there any way to get that software to
- "keep its mits" out of the contents of email items?
-
- Regards, thanks in advance, and may 1993 be better than '92.
