It supported HTML and plain text emails, generating plain text from the HTML version on demand. In addition, it offered subscription management, an interface for building newsletters, archive of past issues, and much more. Built in PHP 4 and running MySQL for storing data, this was my first serious web program. It was used by several of my freelance clients.
