Get to blocked web pages through email

If you are behind a firewall at work or school, you know how frustrating it can be when a friend emails you a link and you can't get to it because the site is blocked. There's a lot of ways around a firewall, but one of the easiest is found using email.

Just send an email to www@web2mail.com and send a URL as a subject/title. They'll then reply back to you, usually within 5 minutes, with the contents of the webpage and the address you included as the title of the email. It doesn't work so great when the page is very graphical in nature, but for sites where what you are looking for is text, this service works great. It's free, it's fast, and it gets around my firewall every time.
