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.

Using urlview for FTP?
Just noticed, that my urlview launched mozilla to view the below ftp type URLs. Does anyone know how to have urlview launch wget for FTP and mozilla for HTTP? man urlview says nothing.

I was thinking of something like that until Dave Ewart mentioned how urlview 1.9 (comes with RH7) has a url_handler.sh script that handles different url types nicely. Just need to install a decent imap server and start muttering from a client instead of rsh'ing to the server.
