+T-PROT -- TOFU protection
+=========================
1. What the hell is TOFU?
As the man page says:
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.

- thank you!

2. What does the script do?
- It detects, and when demanded hides annoying parts in rfc822 messages:
+ It detects, and when demanded hides annoying parts in rfc5322 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 may exit with appropriate libc exit
- codes, so annoying messages may be bounced easily.

3. For what can I use it?
There are several possibilities. One is to filter your email or news
further details on the activated features.
5. And what about other User Agents?
- I just use mutt and slrn, so I do not know how to filter messages in
- other User Agents. If you know how to incorporate t-prot e.g. in Gnus,
- please just drop me a note. ;)
+ I just use mutt and slrn, but I will gladly accept configuration samples
+ for other user agents. There are already examples for mailcap(1) and the
+ Heirloom mailx (a.k.a. nail) in the contrib/ directory. The mutt example
+ works with mutt-kz as well.
6. Where did the idea come from?
