StripMail

StripMail is a lightweight and portable piece of software designed to automatically remove the ">" and "|" characters from forwarded emails. It comes loaded with a wide range of options and configuration settings which can be easily figured out by users.

Portability advantages

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can save the executable file to any part of the hard disk and just click it to run. Another possibility is to copy it to a USB flash disk and directly launch StripMail on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important aspect worth mentioning is that the tool does not alter Windows registry settings or create extra items on the hard drive, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

Simple-to-use interface and options

The GUI is user-friendly, made from a single window with a plain and simple structure which shows help documentation at startup. All you have to do is paste text in this frame and click a button to strip the respective characters, but also to format paragraphs and copy text back to the Clipboard to paste it into the email client and send the messages.
It is possible to indent selected text, ask the app to exit when pressing the Escape key, clear the startup instructions, undo actions, compress multiple spaces, customize font settings, and so on.

Evaluation and conclusion

The tool does not put a strain on computer performance, since it runs on low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and carries out tasks rapidly. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the app did not hang or crash. Thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, StripMail can be handled by all kinds of users.
