Sure; it looks readable enough...

It looks exactly like what's posted in the message...
% pine-like url viewing? Moving around in the message itself and spawning a
% browser. If not, is there a better way to get an URL with some context.
Aha -- you want more than just the URL, then, because of "deficiencies" in
the /. mail message, right? In that case, you'll want to just pump your
message through a browser that can pick up the plaintext URLs (though,
since you're in a tough boat anyway, you might see if /. offers an HTML
mail version and get it instead). Try w3m and links, two text-mode
browsers that seem to be fairly capable.
