-----
FROM THE README
-----
This application has been written to correct deficiencies with the
current NeXT Mail application, especially in the non-NeXT mail mode.
MailHelper corrects these problems and provides some additional
enhancements via the "Services" menu of the Mail application.
It adds the following four features:
[1] Text Reformatting
It reformats pasted/forwarded text in a send window so that the
text fits into about 60 column width. Without reformatting, pasted-in
text often appears ugly with alternating long and short lines due
to inflexible line wrapping in the non-NeXT mail mode. Paragraph
boundaries defined by two consecutive newline characters will be
preserved.
As of Version 1.2 MailHelper reformats Japanese text.
[2] Quoting Text by Prefixed String.
It adds "> " to the left of each text line of pasted text to indicate
that it is quoted text.
[3] Quoting RTF Text by Graying String.
[4] Signature Insertion
It inserts the content of a signature file
(ASCII, RTF, or RTFD)

(NOTE - I undertook this update as an exercise in learning to write
a Service. I do not intend to undertake further enhancements. If
anyone wishes to continue this work please feel free! -emo)
