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 ;-)
