miniref.py is a small utility to make sorting out references in lengthy e-mails just a bit less cumbersome.

make it work

Write what you need to say into a text file. Mark each reference with [^x] in the text and put whatever you want to refer to at the end of your e-mail, after the signature, in this format:

[^x] http://zombietetris.de. The reference
    may span across several lines.

x can be one or more alphanumerical characters or special characters except for [ or ].

The current supported signatures are:

With kind regards
Cheers
Regards
So long and thanks for all the fish

If you use a different one, just open an issue. :)

You can find an example of what a compatible file should look like in example.txt.

Then, run

python miniref.py -f path/to/your/textfile.txt

Afterwards, your references in textfile.txt should be numbered neatly.
