Mutt depends upon urlview to find URLs in a mail message and launch
them. Urlview uses a .urlview file to decide what pattern should match
an URL and what command should be run to launch it. My .urlview file
looks like this on a (non-MacOS) unix system:

EXPERT
REGEXP ((((ht|f)tp)|https|file|mailto):(//)?[^ >"]*|www.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;>">]
COMMAND remotens '%s'

I wrote a script named remotens specifically for the purpose (and I
don't remember what EXPERT does), but you will probably find that you
want:

COMMAND open '%s'

...which will cause whatever your default browser is to open the URL.
You may want to wrap it in a script to do something more clever. In the
meantime, man open.
