urlview shows that menu because often there's not only a single URL in
its input; this way the user can choose which of the links he wants to
open.
Do you want to see urlview simply running url_handler.sh without asking
anything if there's only a single URL?
If this is the request, I'll retitle the bug. 'whishlist for urlview'
it's a bit too generic. :)
Thanks.
ciao,
ema
