extract_url.pl is a Perl script that extracts URLs
from either correctly-encoded MIME email messages
or from plain text. It can be used either as a
pre-parser for a URL selector (such as urlview),
or as a standalone URL selector. It is very
configurable, can handle URLs that have been
broken over several lines in format=flowed
delsp=yes email messages, and eliminates duplicate
URLs. It was designed primarily for use with Mutt,
but can be used by for any similar purpose. 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).
