+# mailread
+
+These scripts are used with Neomutt to parse with Lynx any HTML emails masquerading as text/plain, and to clean up long annoying links.
+
+Links greater than 80 characters are saved to `~/.maillinks` and replaced in the message body with an index number.
+The `maillinks.pl` script can be used to retrieve specific links by index number:
+```
+maillinks.pl <index number>
+```
+The `mailread.pl` script should be set in your `.mailcap` for both text/plain and text/html.
+Using copiousoutput is appropriate.
