Hi!

Here are two nice ideas for URL handling:

1) Colorize URLs in the pager:

color body magenta default '(((ftp|http|https)|mailto)[.:][^ 
>"]*|www.[-a-z_0-9/.?=&,:]+)[^ .,;>">():]'


2) start netscape on URL with mouse usage:

macro pager \eh '!netscape-remote h'

'netscape-remote' is a shell script:
-----------------------------------------------------
#/bin/csh -f
netscape -noraise -remote 'OpenURL('$1',new-window)'
-----------------------------------------------------

The usage is:

1. Mark URL to view with left mouse button
2. Press ESC
3. Press middle mouse button
4. Press Enter


For me this is a much better handling than using urlview.
My problem with urlview is, that it only extracts a list of
URLs, but not the text belonging to the URL.
Reading a mail including several URLs one gets lost with urlview.


Best regards,
Daniel.
