Rich HTML structure, attached files, inline images, custom signatures, and every localized reply format cannot be inferred reliably from pasted plain text.

How the email thread cleaner works

The cleaner looks for common plain-text reply boundaries, quoted lines, forwarded-message separators, and email header blocks. It stays conservative because email programs and languages format replies differently.

  1. Paste plain-text email content

    Copied text from Gmail, Outlook, and similar clients works best. Colors, fonts, inline images, and other rich formatting are not preserved.

  2. Choose what counts as old content

    The defaults recognize lines such as On ... wrote:, dashed Original Message or Forwarded message separators, > quotes, and From/Sent/To/Subject blocks.

  3. Review before sending

    Check localized headers, custom signatures, and replies pasted above unusual separators. The tool avoids guessing when a boundary is unclear.

Quick example

Keep a new two-line reply

The example keeps the newest response and removes the older message beginning with “On … wrote:”.

Common questions

Email reply cleaner FAQ

Which email reply formats are recognized?

The cleaner handles common “On … wrote:” lines, forwarded or original-message separators, From/Sent/To/Subject header blocks, and lines beginning with >.

Can it remove my email signature?

Yes. Turn on Remove common signatures to cut text beginning at common signature separators or mobile sent-from lines. Review the output because custom signatures vary.

Will it always recognize every email client?

No. Custom templates, localized headers, and uncommon mobile apps can use different boundaries. The cleaner is intentionally conservative, so review the result before sending or publishing it.

Is my email content private?

Yes. The text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded or saved by default. Use Save on this device only when you want to keep it here.
