There are these websites with JS-encrypted mailto links.  I  hate
them,  as  they  do work only if the machine your browser runs on
has a mail application running and set up as well. This is seldom
the case on my computers. Thus, each time I encounter this situa-
tion I keep repeating the following work:

     $ cat >/tmp/mailto-printer
     #!/bin/sh
     echo "$@" >/tmp/mailto.txt
     ^D

     $ chmod +x /tmp/mailto-printer

     [select mailto-printer in browser as email application]

     $ cat /tmp/mailto.txt
     [email address gets displayed]


Strange: I wanted to avoid the recurring  implementation  of  the
script, thus placing it in ~/bin, I still do re-implement it, be-
cause I forget to first check ~/bin if it already is there. %-)
