A program called urlscan is used by mutt to do that and it honors the BROWSER environment variable setting so if that's lynx urlscan will open in lynx. The https://wiki.archlinux.org/ page has help on setting mutt up and I think urlscan is mentioned in that help or has its own help page. An older program called url-view was used by mutt but urlscan seems to have replaced it. There's a learning curve for mutt, learning what to put in your configuration files and to set up macros but a script called fleacollar.sh got written and if you run that and answer all questions accurately it should make you useable configuration files for mutt. I can send you a copy of that script but I'll not send that to lynx-dev.
