I wrote one just like it once, for Claris Emailer. Well, it wasn't just like
it. It worked on incoming and draft messages, and it would properly wrap
"quoted" lines that had been broken (so the trailing piece sits on a line by
itself without a leading ">". That was useful for cleaning up incoming mail.
But, of course, Entourage's auto text cleanup does that very nicely now; the
only thing I use, and rarely, is a script to just strip one quote level.
Most of the time, honestly, if I want soft wrap, I use Paul's script, which
has more "exceptions" built in. Beyond just checking for lines that start
with ">" (as my script does), Paul's, you will note, also checks the
following:
Signatures
Lines starting with space, tab, "<", bullet
Lines beginning with four or more hyphens or underscores (often
dividers)
He leaves those lines alone.
