I use w3m instead of urlview for this. It can identify URLs in plain
text and mark them as links. (The ':' command does this.) You can then
follow the links using w3m as the browser or invoke an eternal browser
instead.
In fact, I have mutt configured to use w3m as the pager for those
newsletters I receive that commonly contain URLs.
display-hook ~A 'set pager=builtin'
display-hook '~s "\\[Slashdot\\] Daily Headlines"' 'set pager=w3m'
display-hook '~s "YOUR LINUX TODAY NEWSLETTER"' 'set pager=w3m'
