Also, if you're running mutt from a gnome terminal emulator (gnome-terminal), taking the cursor over a url will highlight the url and change the cursor. Right click for a context sensitive menu, which includes launching in browser. Alternatively, press and hold control then left click for the same thing. John

Slowly coming out of the dark ages, I just tried the gnome-terminal approach and it really works! Amazing. One question: where do I set which browser is picked? My installation seems to like mozilla, but I would prefer opera.
