eCleaner

Sporting the looks and feel of a typical, old-school notepad app, eCleaner is, in fact, a lightweight and small software developed to help you clean email messages.

To be more precise, the app's main job is to help you remove unwanted symbols, line breaks, headers, potential spaces between words, phrases, or at the beginning of each line, as well as any HTML elements you might find.

The way it works is pretty straightforward: you just copy the text from the email (or any other text, for that matter) into the app, access the Clean menu, and select any of four provided options: Clean text, Remove HTML, Remove Symbols, and Remove Headers.

Probably the most surprising aspect of the app is the fact that it also provides a decent number of customization options. Head over to the Options menu, and you can define what symbols you want the app to clean for you, as well as choose from several other useful features.

For example, you can set up the app to also clean the symbost from the end of the line, to perform a word wrap, to leave blank lines intact, to assume that the first line is the title, and add double space after periods.

You can also configure the app to not wrap lines that start with numbers, or those that end with a punctuation mark, or to not wrap lines that contain upper cases.

Even though it's fairly old and it pretty much looks like something that came out of the Windows 95 era, eCleaner can still get the job done on Windows 10.

It may not be the pretties, but it still works as intended and, if you need it, it can potentially save you a lot of time as it allows you to clean text at the touch of button.
