Yep. It is called google. Go there, and enter the keyword "define:" and
then place the term or word right after it. It does a pretty good job of
providing defs.

I don't think I would find it helpful. It would take longer to process and
send e-mail messages. Besides, consider a message on "ssh" where it is
mentioned several times in an e-mail message, and several URL are created.

Also, consider this:
This list is primarily TEXT only, and HTML is frowned upon. Adding URL as
embedded data within a message would cause the message to get cluttered.

Useful to some, but not worth the cost to me.
