I read email with mutt in an xterm. Here's my current my current, deprecated, setup with Urlview. It's a two-step process... 1) In "~/.mutt/muttrc" in the "Macros" section, as one long line, tell mutt to feed the message through "urlview" when you hit uppercase U, either {SHIFT}{U} or "u" with {CAPSLOCK} enabled. macro pager U ":set pipe_decode\n|urlview\n:unset pipe_decode\n" "extract URLs out of a message" 2) In "~/.urlview" two lines tell Urlview what regexp to match as a URL and what to do when the user selects a URL. I don't know if the "width/height" parameters are honoured any more in Pale Moon REGEXP (((https?|ftp)|mailto):(//)?[^ >"\t]*|www\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t>">\):] COMMAND palemoon -width 950 -height 1050 -P email %s & My workflow is... * I'm reading an email, and I come across a URL I want to look at. * I hit {SHIFT}{U} and a list of URLS from that email pops up at the top. See the attached PNG image. I'm using a "what's coming soon" email from Netflix as an example. * Use the UP and DOWN keys on the keyboard to select the URL you're interested in, i.e the arrow at the left of the image. * Hit {ENTER} and the selected URL shows up at the bottom of my xterm. I can edit the URL if it want to. Hitting {ENTER} again launches the command (i.e. Pale Moon with the the email profile), or {CTRL}{C} backs out. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
