'trimest' in EMBOSS does a very quick-and-dirty trim.
http://www.uk.embnet.org/Software/EMBOSS/Apps/trimest.html

The EMBOSS homepage is:
http://www.uk.embnet.org/Software/EMBOSS/

'trimest' does not currently check for the presence of the nuclear
polyadenylation signal 'AAAUUAA' - I should probably add this check at
some time.
