Email thread cleaner

Trim common quoted history, signature markers and leading headers from a plain-text email. Review the result before sharing. Full MIME source is not supported.

Up to 2 MiB and 50,000 lines. Paste the decoded plain-text message, not a full .eml or MIME source. Common English reply and forwarding markers are recognized.

Trimming also removes inline replies after the first quoted marker. Names and addresses in the retained body remain. Compare the preview with your original before sharing.

Paste a plain-text email to begin.

Share the current message with less history

Reply chains often carry older messages, contact details and signatures that are unrelated to the text you want to share. This cleaner trims a plain-text email at common English reply and forwarding markers. It can also remove a leading email-header block and common signature markers.

Trimming needs a review

The first quoted-history marker ends the retained message. That also removes any inline replies written after it. A sentence that happens to look like a reply marker can cause an early cut. Check the preview against your original and turn off a setting when it removes something you need.

Signature detection uses the conventional double-hyphen separator and a few common mobile signatures. It does not try to identify every personal sign-off. Names, addresses and other details inside the retained message remain.

Plain text only

Paste the decoded text shown by your mail app or open a UTF-8 text file up to 2 MiB and 50,000 lines. Full .eml files, MIME attachments and encoded message parts are not supported. Nothing is sent to a mail service or stored on the server.
