A brief follow-up... That function has been moved out of mutt-proper, at
least for the time being, to a helper-app called "urlview". The message
is piped to urlview, which parses out the URL's, presents them in a
menu, and then launches your browser on the URL you choose. It works
really well for me. I use it to feed lynx from both mutt and trn.
PS Is changing the Subject: line as above a Bad Thing? I'm partial to
descriptive Subjects, but I'm never quite sure of the right way to do
it, or whether I might be breaking somebody's mail sorting.
