You can also work around this problem by using w3m as your pager for
these messages. w3m will identify URLs in the text and mark them as
links. You can then move the cursor over a link and follow it using
either w3m or an external browswer.
http://w3m.sourceforge.net/index.en.html
Display-hooks let you set w3m as the pager for just those messages that
you know have a lot of embedded URLs, e.g.,
display-hook ~A 'set pager="builtin"'
display-hook '~s "reg headlines"' 'set pager="w3m"'
