Hi Roger, Perhaps not quick, and maybe dirt, but the following is doable. Open the message. Ctrl + a to select all. Ctrl + c to copy all. Open a new document Notepad, WordPad or Word. Ctrl + v to pasted the contents of the clipboard into the document. Then use "Replace" (usually found it the edit menu) to search for > and replace with either a space or nothing at all. George. ________________________________ From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Fordham Sent: 15 June 2005 11:14 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] >>>> Hi, I received a message today with hundreds of these signs in it.
