Ok Im not sure if mine is rite. In my ~/home/dir I have the urlview-0.7
dir inside that is the ./urlview
I do not have ./urlview in my /home/dir
from the urlview dir Ive done ./configure make make install
apparently it places the system executables in /usr/bin -- or similiar
here is a portion of my muttrc (this is the only reference to urlview)
# calling the webbrowser through use of urlview:
macro index \cb "|urlview\n"
# the config file of urlview is ~/.urlview and has the line:
# REGEXP ((((ht|f)tp)|mailto):(//)?[^ >"\t]*|www\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t>">]
# COMMAND=screen lynx "%s"
**********************************************************
ctrl + b = scrolling back to the top of the message
trying to view a url it will say "already at top of message"
the INSTALL file for urlview says "run ./configure run make" thats it!
the README (even less informative....)
urlview 0.7
===========
ftp://ftp.cs.hmc.edu/pub/me/urlview-0.7.tar.gz
`urlview' is a curses program for extracting URLs from text files and
displaying a menu from which you can select a specific URL to view using
your favorite browser program.
Requires: working regcomp() or GNU rx.

My Golbal vim line width is 80 characters it seems to increce in mutt, adding the
little red+
