t-prot is a TOFU enhancement for the mutt MUA. It condenses quoted
|
||
|
|
text into a single line, hides overlong signatures, and other email
|
||
|
|
sins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TOFU is an abbreviation which mixes German and English words; it
|
||
|
|
expands to "text oben, full-quote unten" which means "text above -
|
||
|
|
full quote below" and describes the style of so many users who let
|
||
|
|
their mailer or newsreader quote everything of the previous message
|
||
|
|
and just add some text at the top; obviously they think that quoted
|
||
|
|
text must not be changed at all. This is quite annoying as it
|
||
|
|
needlessly sends a lot of data even when it is not required. Some
|
||
|
|
editing of messages is desired. Please point these people to the page

|
t-prot detects, and when demanded hides annoying parts in rfc2822
|
||
|
|
messages: TOFU, huge quoted blocks, signatures (especially when they
|
||
|
|
are too long), excessive punktuation, blocks of empty lines, trailing
|
||
|
|
spaces and tabs. For use inside of MTAs or MDAs it exits with
|
||
|
|
appropriate libc exit codes, so annoying messages may be bounced
|
||
|
|
easily.
