Thanks to all for the replies :) I got urlview working, discovering
three things:
1-There was no .urlview in either /etc or my home directory.
Apparently Red Hat 6.1 didn't do this?
2-My .muttrc, the default which came with the package, had the \cb
binding set for the index but not the pager. Adding the pager, it got
it to run....in the pager.
3-The Red Hat sample.urlview has the following command:
to invoke for selected URL
COMMAND netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)'
I get an error message if Netscape is not open; works only with
Netscape running.
Question: How to get to launch Netscape if not open and/or same
question for lynx?
Thanks for the great support, folks! :)
