A URI is a Universial Resource Indicator, it's not a web browser address.
On the other hand, what exactly is http://www.ufp.org supposed to be useful
for when www.ufp.org is the same thing.
What would happen if I did mutt http://www.ufp.org ?
Accepting URI's instead of hostnames isn't necessarily something I'd be
against but there has to be a point to it.
