Ok.

Ok.


I changed the descriptions to:

Description: Tool for recognizing mails/postings in "TOFU" (top-posting) style
 TOFU is an acronym for "Text oben, Fullquote unten" (German) or
 "text over, fullquote under" (English), also known as top-posting or
 jeopardy-style quoting; i.e. writing one's own text above the fully
 quoted original message in replies to mails or newsgroup posts.
 .
 fullquottel performs several tests to decide whether the mail is a "TOFU"
 mail or not. Each test produces a score. The final sum of the individual 
 test scores is compared to a threshold. If it is above it, the mail is  
 classified as TOFU mail ('Fullquottel' is returned). Further more, the 
 score itself is returned as a number and as a row where each score point
 produces one *. Each test can be customized via a config file or on the 
 command line.

Is this clear enough in your opinion?

My Google presents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting as the 7th link ;-)
