top2button posting sytle?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello 

I just learnt about the C program 
top2button
which allows to convert top posting style to button post
style.
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=131550
(It is cumbersome you have to save the message as file and
apply the program.

Does anybody about a similar functionality in lisp?

Either to apply it to a message after hitting reply or using
the idea of 
article-treat-whatsoever.

Thanks

Uwe Brauer

Cool, thanks last time I looked into the washing functions, this
was not there, but it is also ages ago. It is not perfect,
but this has to do with people forwarding emails, using
outlook using apple mail etc. 

I just wrote up a trivial function transpose-page which help
to repair severe damaged mail, but only in the reply buffer.
