Good point.  If I were to really use this, it'd be put in a file.  I just
always find myself glad that I wrote easily done tasks in Perl, as later
changes are easy to implement.  say you wanted to forward a rot13 mail result
to 500 people but check to make sure the author isn't likely to rot naughty
