Mail Format
`mailfmt` is a simple plain text email formatter. It's designed to ensure
-consistent paragraph spacing while preserving markdown syntax, email
-headers, sign-offs, and signature blocks.

-## Installation
-
-`mailfmt` is intended for use as a standaole tool. The package is
-available on PyPI as `mailfmt`. I recommend using
-[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) or `pipx` to install it so the
-`mailfmt` command is available on your path:
-
-```sh
-uv tool install mailfmt
-```
-
-Verify that the installation was successful:
-
-```sh
-mailfmt --help
-```
