# Pipe to this command from your .forward file (or in my case, an alias extension, 
# so .forward-webgateway).  For every http or https url found in the message 
# (headers and body), it will send an email back to you with the output of a text 
# web browser visiting.
#
# * Requires elinks and the mail command
