no, you're right, except perhaps it was a bit longer ago.
We've been talking about the use with socket(1) and nc(1) (netcat).
Likewise, you can try and use any of the other similar tcp/udp utils around.

mailreaver.crm was designed for per-invocation; to take advantage of its
own caching, crm114 would need to run a looping .crm, which means to 
fill-up the input buffer via INPUT from some <fd> or via SYSCALL to eg.
nc(1). On EOF, go on, munch-munch, spit the response, then back to eating.

mailreaver.crm have some HTML-specific code (for stuff like <!--...-->).
Anything more you want, just do it with the right regex. But, instead of
implementing an *TML parser in crm, I'd rather do that via SYSCALL to 
something done for that - eg. unhtml(1), lynx(1), w3m(1) etc.

Nevertheless, if you end up imlementing such *TML parser, _that_'d be nice
to stuff in the .crm library :)
