Joel,

thanks for the script. I put in .muttrc this macro

macro pager \cn "!/home/marco/bin/start_browser.sh\n" 'open URL'

Now netscape starts every time with the last selected URL, but I get
this error : 

sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I  have only changed the path to netscape, what could it be? 
Maybe some weird character came in pasting from one rxvt to emacs?
I am using bash, and the browser starts correctly, but that problem
is really bad because it messes up the mutt pager window. I could add
a >2 /dev/null, but I'd rather understand what's happening.

Any help is appreciated!

        Ciao,
                Marco Fioretti
