E-Clips Autoformatter
The Foundation for Biomedical Research sends a newsletter called "Total E-Clips" to more than 200,000 subscribers per day. The old process of creating the newsletter involved writing the newsletter in plain text, submitting the plain text for editorial review, and then putting it together on the GUI of FBR's email marketing service. I saw this system and said, "Wait. Why are we building the E-Clips twice?"
So I built a PHP program that loops through the HTML-formatted message and constructs the plain text automatically. Now FBR just builds the email in the email marketing service and runs it through this program, saving about half an hour a day.
