 2. What does the script do?

-   It detects, and when demanded hides annoying parts in rfc822 messages:
-   TOFU,  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

-5. And what about other MUAs?
-   I just use mutt, so I do not know how to filter messages in other MUAs.
-   If you know how to incorporate t-prot e.g. in Gnus, please just drop me
-   a note. ;)

-6. And what about an example for bouncing emails?
-   Put a line like the following in your /etc/mail/aliases:
-   ------SNIPP------
-   notofu: |"/usr/local/bin/t-prot -cemtS -p=user@mydomain"
-   ------SNIPP------
-   (Do not forget to call `newaliases`.)  Messages for notofu@mydomain will
-   be scanned for TOFU.  If t-prot found TOFU in a message, it will bounce,
-   otherwise it will be  forwarded to user@mydomain.  This works great with
-   sendmail,  if you use another MTA you probably have to adapt it.

-   Many thanks to Gerhard H. Wrodnigg who uses a TOFU protection script 
-   in order to keep the responses to his cancel bot reasonably short.  The
