On Linux, I use a .forward file of the form:
myusername
|/home/myusername/bin/wmail.pl
My wmail.pl file has a line:
@text=<>;
and then I process the contents in various ways (e.g.,
filtering some messages, putting some in a file I can read
in a web browser, etc.) Pretty rudimentary, but it works well for me.

(Update-remark: The .forward file sends my emails to the
usual spool via the first line, and then I can do anything
else with it with the script. The first line could be omitted; I included it to have a backup file.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
