Maybe configure an external message viewer (even something simple as `less` seems to keep line-wrapped links intact/together, in my quick testing)? R.

Oh well. Thanks for the hint. Augustine

I understand the objective is to correctly process a received message. But what does mutt do if the link is contained within angle brackets (<>)? I've found that some MUAs handle those better. If it works for you, you could try to get your correspondents to conform.

If I copy/paste the link as displayed by mutt into a file and then cat it, I see the same behavior I see in mutt: incomplete link. If I edit the file and join the 2 lines, cat displays the one-line link and then selecting it works as it should. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to prevent mutt from inserting \n between long links, even after using set nomarkers set smart_wrap=no which only get rid of the '+' at the befinning of the second line, but the \n remains, as shown by od -c. No combination of reflow_text, reflow_wrap, smart_wrap alters the breaking up of long links, only maximizing the konsole so that the whole link is on one line works. Maybe I haven't found the magic combination of options to achieve this, if it is at all possible. > FWIW, this sort of thing is why I stopped using pine after resisting for as > long as possible. > > R. It would be nice if mutt recognized URLs and didn't add the \n, but I don't see any such option in man muttrc. Thanks for replying. Augustine

Only the first part is underlined or used on click. Can you confirm that the link detection works correctly in the shell, e.g. when you `cat` a file containing them? If so you'll probably want to look into configuring mutt so it doesn't do any wrapping of the email message bodies. FWIW, this sort of thing is why I stopped using pine after resisting for as long as possible. R.
