Yes, I do have this, and it works, but it comes up with a small font, default screen colors, doesn't seem to read my bash-environ settings, etc. Is all of this explained somewhere in one place (a book about XWindows??), or do you have to chase down the solutions to these various problems one-by-one through the man pages...? This is what has kept me using the cygwin dos console, which looks terrific since I customized the colors and fonts by right-clicking for the WIN2000 window properties. > ftp://ftp.mutt.org/mutt/contrib/urlview-0.9.tar.gz > > and that you couldn't use it in cygwin for some reason.

After compiling and installing urlview in your As a non-programmer, I have not had good experience with compiling, but this one did compile right out of the box. Thanks!! > I hope this helps! This is a huge leap forward, many thanks! It's not quite ideal, in my opinion, because there are extra keystrokes involved in scrolling down and finding the URL again out of its original context. This is not a problem if there are just three or four URLs, but looks like it could get a bit tedious if working through a mail message that mentions 60 or so emails, such as a Red Rock Eater bulletin. Also, Netscape or Mozilla mail would show an already-clicked-on link in a different color, and that seems not to be the case with urlview. But I'm not complaining... -- this is worlds better than what I have been doing!
