I think I've mentioned this before, but:

For those in the unix world, there's a utility called
"urlview" at:

ftp://ftp.cs.hmc.edu/pub/me/urlview-0.7.tar.gz

that should work with any program that can pipe a message to it.
It sifts out URL's using a regular expression, presents them in a
numbered list, and launches your browser of choice on a selected
URL.  Quitting the browser returns you to the list of URLs.  I
use it with mutt for email, and trn for usenet.
