After hearing about git commit hooks, I was thinking maybe there are such things as email hooks...

Is it possible for me to build a program that says "hey, you just received an email, now run this ruby script"? Something like a GMail Web Hook. Is there anything out there like that? I mean I could build a cron thing that checked my email all the time, but maybe there's a more formal way.

Looking for an online email system to do this with, not say my Mac Mail.
