I just wanted to mention an alternative way of opening URLs which
appears in mail messages. Usually URLs appear on a single line like
this:
http://www.mutt.org
Then you can just triple click on that line to mark it, move the mouse
cursor "somewhere inside the Netscape window"[1] and click the middle
mouse button. This will open the webpage. (Of course, if the URL appears
in the middle of a sentence then just mark it by dragging).
I find this just as easy as using Urlview. This is especially true when
there are lots of URLs in the message, because in Urlview you lose the
context of the URL.
