-Description: display filter for RFC822 messages

- signatures and TOFU as well as squeezing sequences of blank lines or
- punctuation.
+Description: display filter for Internet messages
+ This program provides "TOFU-Protection" to improve the readability of
+ email and newsposts. TOFU is a German acronym for "Text oben, Fullquote
+ unten", meaning the regrettably widespread reply style that leaves all
+ the quotes untrimmed and just adds some text at the top. This script
+ filters annoying mailing list footers, long signatures, and TOFU, as
+ well as squeezing sequences of blank lines, exclamation marks, etc.
.
- 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.

- It currently offers hints how to include it within mutt, slrn or inn2. It
- should be possible to do similars with other programs that allow to have a
- message run through a filter before it's displayed. If you use such a program
- we'd be interested if you could send in your setup.
+ It currently offers example configurations for applying t-prot within
