You are not using the program correctly. extract_urlview has worked
perfectly with mutt, for me, for probably about 2 years now. Why bother
trying to integrate it into your shell script, just use it as a
stand-alone program and don't use urlview at all.

the contents of my ~/.extract_urlview:


COMMAND firefox %s &
SHORTCUT
PERSISTENT

That's it! The ampersand ensures Firefox runs in the background. Nothing
else needed.
