Hello,

Part of how to get the email to update itself on the site depends on what
his email is from (Exchange, sendmail on UNIX, qmail, etc..) that would
decide how the script would be written to read the email, format it for the
web, and create a page.

As for the part of a regex (not really algorithm) to make a line (well,
string) starting with http:// into a link, this should do it for you:
s/\b(http:\/\/\S*)\s/<A HREF=\"$1\"> /gi;

I tested this like:
$foo = "Hi, I want this
http://www.theadvocate.com/ap_redir.asp?url=http://wire.ap.org to be a
link";
$foo =~ s/\b(http:\/\/\S*)\s/<A HREF=\"$1\"> /gi;
print $foo;

And it worked fine. 

Cheers and HTH,
Kevin
