I missed this first time round - the answer I use (on a solidly potato system) is urlview (from the package of the same name) to launch a browser out of mutt - there's even a control-b macro ready and waiting for it. Then the browser I have urlview configured to use is w3m, which may be a humble non-graphical browser, but it can in turn be configured to hand URLs over to other browsers - the three I have it use are <tab>=netscape, 2<tab>=mozilla, and 3<tab>="xterm -e w3m &". -- Justin B Rye - writing from but not for Datacash Ltd
