And you can use the cutting, selecting, and pasting text functionality
to click a URL. Select the URL with left and right mouse button in the
xterm running mutt and "paste" that into an open Netscape window. I
have urlview configured, but I use mostly the cut and paste method.
The disadvantage of urlview, in my opinion, is that it shows only the
URLs it finds in a message, but not any context.
