For the Cygwin mutt users among us, I do the following to view URLs
in IE by highlighting the link then pressing F11 (it uses Window's
"start", assumes you are using rxvt and have installed perl and
misc-0.9.2-1.tar.gz):

1.  Create shell script viewurl:

#!/bin/sh
clipboard=`getclip | perl -pe 's/\n?\r?//g'`
start $clipboard


2.  Add this to .muttrc:

macro pager <F11> "! viewurl\n" "Simulate the real urlview by spawning IE"
