Lot's of fun :-( In any case one of the results of this is a huge problem for me in mail retrieval. I use a freeBSD laptop as my primary machine. I had been using fetchmail to retrieve my email, and passing the mail on to sendmail on the local machine. The new powers that be have decided to turn of the POP2 server. There suggested alternative is a miserable web based mail access (Lotus Notes, I think, if it matters). Now, I was wondering if someone had cobbled together something (perl script), to essentially "screen scrape" email of w web interface? I am hoping to replace the fetchmail part of my setup with something.
