Hi Mutt folks,

(this idea is for the Mutt developers but since the thread came up
here, I'm continuing here. Btw. -- sorry for my recent duplicate post.
It won't happen again, folder-hook works for me now.)

There is another great use for an (optional) cursor in the internal
pager -- you could avoid using the urlview ripper.

The only feature I miss in Mutt compared to Pine 4 is just this:
Within the ususal message view, you use up and down cursor keys to
jump to a spot that looks like a URL oder Email address, hit enter
(maybe edit the URL), and url_handler.sh gets you there.

There may be people who got used to urlview but consider a typical
digest email I get every day from LinguistList. This is what urlview
extracts from it:

I'm bad at remembering numbers. This is what the computer should do
for me.
