Aha! It did not occur to me to put the url just in the header. It would
not be visible, but I suppose most clients allow you to show all headers.
I wonder if they support clickable urls in the headers... I quick test
says that pine does, squirrelmail does not, mozilla does not. They all
support clickable _addresses_ however. I think you can easily make postfix
alias correct-<user>-<msgid>@domain.org to "| correction_script
<user> <msgid>" using the regexp aliasing. Not familar with other mtas.
