A friend of 37211 PCUsers, Gerry Rains sent me notice of this very useful free utility:

eCleaner is a simple text editor which allows you to make your e-mail
messages more readable by removing the symbols that accumulate when an
e-mail is forwarded several times. eCleaner lets you remove any HTML code
and obscure headers, removing the ">" symbols, and fix fragmented sentences
that are caused by word wrapping.
Like local traffic and weather reports on radio and TV, we will probably
begin to see increasing regular coverage of various indices of Internet
performance, and possibly virus alerts, intruder attacks, scams, and other
hazards. Susan Stellin, Technology editor at The New York Times On The Web,
suggests three sites which monitor and report on the flow of Internet
traffic.
http://www.internettrafficreport.com/
Internet Traffic Report -This site offers sophisticated graphs of several indices of performance by global region.
http://www.keynote.com/
Keynote Systems - Currently has a special press report titled "Denial of Service Attacks Degraded Internet Performance Overall."
http://www.internetweather.com/
Internet Weather Report - Is currently building a Ping List to monitor and rate high-traffic ISPs for their performance.
Stellin's original article, "Traffic and Weather Get Regular Updates. Why
Not the Internet," is located at:
