DeGarbleIt!
We first learned about this tool from the author, Matt McEahern who generously shared the code with members of an online discussion forum. Matt holds the copyright, but you're free to use it however you wish.
What does it do? It cleans up text. Do you have a lot of chevrons ( > ) in your e-mail making it hard to read? Did you open a document only to find HTML or machine code scattered throughout?
If so, DeGarbleIt!
