As you've seen, there's a lot. Quite an educational thread.

My favorite way is to use mutt in a URL aware terminal, so I can just right
click on any URL to have netscape load it up. I use dingus, a modified rxvt
2.4.5 that you can get at http://astro.utoronto.ca/~reid/software/ but you
might already be able to do it in gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal manages
backgrounds better, but its magic clicking isn't as flexible or convienient.
And now for a purely speculative method: it mmiigghhtt* be possible to
run mutt inside emacs, and use emacs to middle click on URLs like in gnus. I
doubt it, though. ;-) It'd probably be easier just to use a webcam to see
which URLs you're looking at.
* IIRC, it's been mathematically proven that emacs can do anything.
