email to html updating
Hey guys,
I receive news through email on a regular basis, updated once or twice a day, and was wondering if it is possible to automate the process of putting the text from the mail to an html file. Are there any good scripts out there that take care of this? If not, can anyone give me any pointers on how this can be accomplished?

It seems to me the easiest way to do this would be to create an email alias that forwards all email to a CGI script. Then have the CGI script parse the email using regular expressions or something like that.

Anyone have example code to have a perl script check an email, and receive the contents of that email? I would be interested in finding out.

Orpheus, thanks for the help.
It's the part about forwarding the mail to a cgi script that I'm not too clear on. Know of any examples?
