#### FAQ 4-8

#### Question 4.8

Is there anything I can do to make poorly formatted mails more readable?

#### Answer

Gnus offers you several functions to “wash” incoming mail, you can find them if you browse through the menu, item Article->Washing. The most interesting ones are probably “Wrap long lines” (‘`W w`’), “Decode ROT13” (‘`W r`’) and “Outlook Deuglify” which repairs the dumb quoting used by many users of Microsoft products (‘`W Y f`’ gives you full deuglify. See ‘`W Y C-h`’ or have a look at the menus for other deuglifications). Outlook deuglify is only available since Gnus 5.10.
