I fail to see why the builtin pager can't have a URLjump binding that would
work like lynx does, and then let you trigger a browser external from that
point, on that url.
This seems to fall within the scope of a pager, yet leaves the web client
external, thus catering to the lean MUA/rest-to-other-suitable-apps model.
urlview is okay, but I think having this functionality built into the pager
would indeed be more slick and seamless.
I agree with you on this. This said from a person still running 0.95.7i.
:) I saw all the bug reports at 1.x and decided I was better off where I
was. I haven't been having any problems with mine.
