I'm subscribed to a mailing-list were people send interesting articles,

usually as a link followed by the full text (for archival, as URL tend

to become obsolete over time).

The link are interesting enough that they could be shared with more

people. Enters Twitter. I want to tweet a summary of the emails:

simply the subject line and the first URL in the body.

mail2tweet gets the oldest email matching the given criteria,

and tweets subject and first link from an email on stdin.

The YAML config files hold the credentials, "last email tweeted",

and content-munging information.
