There is a standard solution for mutt. You have to get and install a program called urlview, then reconfigure .muttrc. The download site I found wouldn't download it last night. Actually, I really don't want to learn much about mutt. It is just one email client, which I happen to use right now. But, I want to learn a lot about bash.
I would rather do it with a bash script, since I am working hard on my scripting skills. Knowing how to access the clipboard contents within a bash script would allow many interesting things to get done. This is how I try to improve my scripting skills, solving a real problem.
