Notice:

This is a script I wrote quite a while ago. It is not supported, but I left it here in case it might be useful to someone.

Please visit http://www.mattkruse.com/ for my updated web site and to find some of the things I've done more recently. Hopefully you will find something useful, or at least mildly interesting!

Mail Links Script

I get lots of mail. LOTS of mail. And many of them contain URL's that I want to check out later. But writing them all down in my handy spiral notebook takes forever and I just have to type them in later again. So I came up with this solution...

This script takes incoming mail and looks for any http: reference. It pulls them out and updates a hotlist that you keep in your directory, so you can go back later and easily visit all the sites that people send in their e-mail. You can even use it to keep a constantly-evolving hotlist that people can check out.

This one takes a little setup on your part, but I think it is well worth it. It saves me a lot of time and works great. Hope you like it!
