Why would I use this plugin?

If you create teasers for your posts with the <!--more--> quicktag, and you want those teasers to link to the full posts instead of jumping to the unread text, you should use the StripTease plugin.

How do I configure this plugin?

The StripTease plugin doesn't require any configuration. Once it's activated, it will immediately begin stripping the "#more" fragments from the end of your teaser links.

Do I have to use "pretty permalinks" with this plugin?

No, you don't. The StripTease plugin will work with WordPress's default querystring permalinks as well as its rewrite-based pretty permalinks.
