net-mail tove@gentoo.org Torsten Veller This program is a filter which shall improve the readability for messages (emails and usenet postings) by *hiding* some annoying parts, e.g. mailing list footers, signatures, and TOFU, as well as squeezing sequences of blank lines or punctuation. TOFU is an acronym that stands for "Text oben, Fullquote unten" (german language) which means the style of sadly so many people that just leave all the quotes in a reply and add some own lines above. This acronym is what gave the script its name - TOFU Protection.
