w3m doesn't need real HTML. If you type a colon (:), w3m will search the current page for URLs and turn them into links, along with coloring them. Then with the cursor on the link, you can hit Enter to open the link in w3m or hit Esc-M to open the link in an external browser. http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/#w3m Regards, Gary
