I'm pretty sure the answer here is no, though I'd be interested to learn
otherwise.
2) When I read a mail, is there a way that URLs do not get line broken
at all? Otherwise I always have to select the URL manually to open it
in my browser, since I didn't find yet a terminal-emulator that will
recognize multi-line-URLs (and I am actually happy with termite)
I personally believe this is a mutt bug, though I haven't taken the time to see
if it is fixable.
First, check if your terminal deals with a URL printed across the end of a
line. I just tested mine (iterm2 on a Mac) with a long echo command in the
shell:
echo gggjjjjjjjjjggggggggfff f f f a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a aa a a a
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa http://www.smh.com.au/
sufficiently long to split the URL over the end of the line. Then see if you
can click on the URL (or whatever gesture your emulator uses).
My belief is that when mutt renders an email, when a line overflows to the next
line the actual sequence sent to the terminal is two lines: the first line and
a cursor motion to the next line, and _not_ simply writing text that spans to
the next line. And I think that changing this might make long URLs better
handled by terminal emulators.
Could someone familiar with mutt's internals comment on this?
