The spiffy free download Email Stripper 2.2 (Windows and Linux under WINE only) rescues emails like this by yanking all the stray symbols and weird spaces, then restoring it to its original easy-to-read format. Simply paste the wonky email (that's the technical term for it, you know) into Email Stripper, click a button and -- presto -- the text is cleaned up and ready to be cut and pasted into a new email.
>>Piece>>>of>>cake.

Now how about an ad on for Thunderbird that will do this for us automatically?? THAT would be nice.

I have to try that tool, a lot of people forward me those kinds of mails and eventually it gets super annoying.
