Mutt depends upon urlview to find URLs in a mail message and launch
them. Urlview uses a .urlview file to decide what pattern should match
an URL and what command should be run to launch it. My .urlview file
looks like this on a (non-MacOS) unix system:
EXPERT
REGEXP ht|f)tp)|https|file|mailto):(//)?[^ >"]*|www.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;>">]
COMMAND remotens '%s'
I wrote a script named remotens specifically for the purpose (and I
don't remember what EXPERT does), but you will probably find that you
want:
COMMAND open '%s'
...which will cause whatever your default browser is to open the URL.
You may want to wrap it in a script to do something more clever. In the
meantime, man open.
As an enhancment to this, I would strongly suggest to install the
"launch" package which is superior to Apple's "open" command in every
regard. To open URLs with it, you can do "launch -l http://bla.com";,
so the above COMMAND probably would become
COMMAND launch -l '%s'
launch also has many other nifty features, for example to open a
picture with GraphicConverter, you can do:
launch -c GKON MyPicture.jpg
Cheers,
