Here's what i do.
1. in my ~/.muttrc i have
macro index <F9> |urlview\n 'extract web URLs and goto'
macro pager <F9> |urlview\n 'extract web URLs and goto'
2. in my ~/.urlview i have
COMMAND choose_web_vwr.sh '%s'
3. the script choose_web_vwr.sh asks the user whether to use
netscape, lynx, wget etc. with appropriate defaults depending
on file extension and whether http is found etc.. See
attachment for the script.
