This is a Perl script that extracts URLs from correctly-encoded MIME email
|
|
messages. This can be used either as a pre-parser for urlview, or to replace
|
|
urlview entirely.
|
|
|
|
Urlview is a great program, but has some deficiencies. In particular, it isn't
|
|
particularly configurable, and cannot handle URLs that have been broken over
|
|
several lines in format=flowed delsp=yes email messages. Nor can it handle
|
|
quoted-printable email messages. Also, urlview doesn't eliminate duplicate
|
|
URLs. This Perl script handles all of that. It also sanitizes URLs so that
|
|
they can't break out of the command shell.
|
|
|
|
This is designed primarily for use with the mutt emailer. The idea is that if
|
|
you want to access a URL in an email, you pipe the email to a URL extractor
|
|
(like this one) which then lets you select a URL to view in some third program
|
|
(such as Firefox).
