I didn't comment out that line; it is needed to replace %s by the URL
in the 'COMMAND' that actually opens the URL. What I did was modify
the two 'system' calls. In a previous email to the list I included the
patch.

By the way, the author of the program, Kyle Wheeler, wrote to me that
he expects that adding the line
COMMAND /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh '%s'
to the configuration file ~/.extract_urlview would be enough to solve
the problem (with %s between quotes). I believe I had tried that and
that it didn't work, but now I'm not completely sure. You could try it.
Best regards,
Luis
