+# unfurl.py
+
+Is Avanan email protection forced on you?  Do you click avanan-checked links
+only to get a stupid sad document icon with an inside-out umbrella telling you
+"something went wrong" when all you wanted to do was change your email
+preferences from some stupid newsletter?
+
+That's all this script does.  It "unfucks" the URL that avanan wrapped in its
+own rewritten link.
+
+Conveniently, their urls use a predictable
+http://url.avanan.click/___your_actual_url___/moreavananbs
+
+This script just takes that jumbled URL, and plucks out the stuff between the
+___'s.
+
+# Usage
+
+## interactive
+```
+unfurl.py
+```
+
+You'll be prompted for the url.
+
+## As argument
+```
+unfurl.py "avananlink"
+```
+
+## As stdin
+```
+echo "avananlink" | unfurl.py
+```
+
+## directly from your clipboard, and then put the cleaned one back on your clipboard
+(using wayland's wl-copy/paste commands, but you can adjust based on whatever
+your clipboard manager is)
+```
+wl-paste | unfurl.py | wl-copyunf
+```
