Scribo, the email-based phlog generator (z3bra.org)

I made a simple tool some time ago to extract the content of an email, and publish it to a gopher hole.

To put it simply, the subject is used as the title, and the body is put into the log entry (optionnaly passed through a command, like fmt(1) for example. The original email sender is verified, to prevent spams from cluttering your phlog. It might not be the most secure method, but that works for me ^tm^.

You can see it in action here:

  • gopher://phlog.z3bra.org
  • gopher://g.nixers.net/7/~anon/twtxt.dcgi

I have years of your life to catch up on ! Neat looking back at ideas for scribo at different times like gopher://phlog.z3bra.org/0/idea-multipartmixed-support-for-scribo.txt

I was briefly confused by your html mailto item but no longer

Yeah unfortunately I never implemented that feature ^^ It would require to parse the email body and add much more logic into Scribo itself, making it very complex and subject to bugs. I like it the way it is now to be fair ^^

What's confusing about the mailto item ?

My usual phetch doesn't have an XDG web browser set or something I think? Unless I misunderstood that error, hang on. Specifically in phetch, I tried following link 1. (phlog@z3bra.org) and I get the error, "invalid port value".

Oh right, then it's probably just the link format which is misinterpreted by your client. mailto links don't include the usual "://", which might prevent them from opening correctly on some clients.
