I remember naming a function that sanitized sketchy (in the charset sense) email content “zap_gremlins” — this was about a decade ago, and probably about a decade after the last time I used BBEdit. I’m a Sublime guy now but fond memories.

- Wistar 5y agoAlso useful for zapping text from MS Word as I recall.

(It's pretty much as essential as "Zap Gremlins" had been – and about as god-sent, especially for work in multi-lingual context.)
