How to clean forwarded email text
Paste your email chain into Dequote, review the cleaned text, then copy it. The tool removes quote markers, repeated email headers, Outlook dividers, attribution lines, mobile signatures, and broken line wrapping without sending your text to a server.
Why forwarded emails get messy
Email clients preserve reply history by adding quote markers, header blocks, mobile signatures, and client-specific separators. That context helps inside the inbox, but it becomes clutter when you need to paste the thread somewhere else.
What Dequote removes
Dequote removes the repetitive scaffolding around the message: leading quote markers, Original Message dividers, From and Subject blocks, wrote-attribution lines, and hard line breaks from old email clients.
