Unlistened e-mail

This script takes unread e-mail that piles up in your inbox, and translates it into, well, not specifically music for your ears, but some experimental sound artists have been known to do even worse. Unread e-mail can be a burden, a comfort zone, but in most cases tend to sit on the shelf, and remain unread. The other matter concerns listening to data, and paranoia that can be provoked.

curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk 
-F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | sed -n "s/<title>\(.*\)<\/title.*name>\(.*\)<\/name>(.*\)/p"

input becomes:
