What about ftp support?

| I've used urlview to help me view URLs embedded in email, and it works
| fine, but when a message contains lots of URLs, it can be difficult to
| choose the right one since urlview provides no message context.
|
| I recently discovered a neat feature of the w3m browser that makes it an
| attractive alternative to urlview. Simply pipe the message or
| attachment to w3m as you would urlview. When invoked this way, w3m
| behaves as a pager, allowing you to read the message much as you would
| using less. Typing a colon (:) causes w3m to mark URL-like strings on
| the current page as anchors. Then move the cursor to the anchor/link of
| interest and type ESC M (note the upper-case M) which invokes an
| external browser on the link. Cool!
|
| Alternatively, you can just type RETURN instead of ESC M to use w3m
| itself to browse the link.
|
| To get this to work smoothly with netscape, I set the external browser
| in my ~/.w3m/config file like this:
|
| extbrowser /home/garyjohn/bin/netscape2
|
| and created a netscape2 script containing the following line:
|
| netscape -remote "openURL($1, new-window)" 2> /dev/null || netscape $1
|
| You could also use w3m as your mutt $pager all the time, but as a pager,
| I don't think w3m's interface is quite as nice as less's.

| You can get w3m from
