The urlview programs takes any text file and looks for URLs in it.
(Actually what it looks for can be configured, so you could make it
do any kind of things, but the default use is to look for URLs...)
The way this works is to set up urlview, and then create a macro in Mutt
that will send the contents of the current message to the urlview
program. Then in urlview you see all the links and can select any one
of them.
Urlview is really rather simple, and I remember having no trouble at all
setting it up with the documentation that was provided, down to adding
the relevant macro (ctrl-b) into my .muttrc.
This isn't true "click on the links as I see them" type of feature.
That's not really possible with Mutt. However it's possible with
xterms, I think there was a program called "dingus" that enabled this.
(I'm not sure, dingus may have been adapted into gnome-terminal, I
remember once reading something like that... But could mis-remember
too.)
