comic2email is a script which will leech your favourite web based comics and drop them into your inbox.
For a few years I have been using increasingly sophisticated email systems to store important data. Imap is a wonderful thing although I am currently slumming it with pop3 again to get gmails wonderful filtering.
This is one more example of this. Instead of chasing web comics why not have them delivered to you. Why not use rss I ask you, well I used to but many comics have inadequate feeds and I still have to chase the content.
Won’t the artists starve, I hear. Well no because every email contains a link direct to the comics online shop or donation page.
Every bodies a winner with comic2email. Download your copy today.
Requirements are python, email server (to send mail, sendmail compatable) and a net connection. Every modern *nix system should already have the requirements no need for large downloads to get a little bit of software.
