Description

Replacement for urlview to parse URL links from mail messages.

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)

Dependencies

MANDATORY (these usually come with Perl):

MIME::Parser
HTML::Parser

OPTIONAL:

MIME::QuotedPrint
- decodes quoted-printable encoded messages per RFC 2045 (handles corner 
  cases better than the builtin decoder)

URI::Find
- recognizes more exotic URL variations in plain text (without
  HTML tags)

Curses::UI
- allows it to fully replace urlview

Getopt::Long
- if present, extract_url recognizes long options -version and
  --list
