+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.
