A few minutes experimenting suggests that something like this in .procmailrc :0 * ^Subject: webfetch * ^From:.*someone@example.com | /home/user/bin/webfetch with a /home/user/bin/webfetch file like #!/bin/bash for i in `grep "^get: " | cut -c5-` do ( cat << END_HEADERS To: someone(a)example.com Subject: $i MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit END_HEADERS /usr/bin/wget $i -O - 2>/dev/null ) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t done will do the job: send e-mails from someone(a)example.com with the subject webfetch and the line get: redhat.com and you'll get the web page by return of e-mail. You won't get any images: this might not be a problem. You might want to play around with wget's options. Don't know: can it pass e-mails to arbitrary scripts?
