Couldn't see any good reason why you replied to me instead of the list so I forwarded it back lo debian-user. Hope this isn't a breach of netiquette. I have this in my ~/.muttrc: #---------------------------------- # urlview - invoke w/ Ctrl-B #---------------------------------- macro index \cb |urlview\n macro pager \cb |urlview\n As far as I can remember it was part of the muttrc I used as a template, so you may already have it. On recent debian systems, you can also use urlscan that has a few enhancements and a prettier interface. As having urlview open the url in a new tab of a tabbed terminal environment, I don't know how it can be done.. I've done that with the "raggle" RSS aggregator under gnu/screen, so it should be feasible. CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
