It is perfectly workable. Pete Toscano and I improved .urlview
to handle mail URLs such as mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and just [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the
regexp and pass them to url_handler.sh which calls mutt for
mail URLs, netscape/lynx for http:// and www.x.y URLs, ncftp/ncftpget
for ftp:// and ftp.x.y URLs. It should be not too difficult to
alter the section that deals with mail URLs in a different way and
save them to file. I guess you could run urlview with a different
.urlview for both a different regexp and different action. Go for it.
I will be posting out final changes this week after a final check. We
will suggest they go in the main mutt distribution.
Cheers, Brian.
