Great Bart!
I use automator w/transmit to update a site I maintain (all done with perl scripts and cron tasks!) your little chat describes how I can define a service to get raw email text (doc?), massage a html formatted part to expunge (and correct) the html and put in a text document. That info gets converted to a txt file that later gets plugged into a template and uploaded (by Transmit) to the site.

This currently requires cutting and pasting into the __DATA__ section of a perl script and redirecting to the txt file. Looking forward to working on it in the paste buffer. Thanks for discussing this with Allison.
