I've been looking for a good, dedicated, light weight application to clean 
up text for the PC.

Typical examples might be to unwrap, re-wrap and give multiple levels of 
quote indentation in an email. Or cleaning up text copied from a web page, 
or handling text that was encoded using line breaks from another system 
(*nix, PC, Mac)., converting styled text to plain, and so on...

Closest that I've found, and it's pretty good, is TextSoap. I"m looking for 
it's competitors to see if anyone has something more powerful/flexible.

Suggestions anyone?
