Hello Robert, I think, that this is a good idea, because no more mouse is needed. But I don't know, how you would create the macros by the filter. Perhaps a very little patch will suffice to get the ergonomic pine-behaviour, since mutt can already detect URLs very easily: color body magenta yellow "(http|https|ftp|news)://[^ \">\t\r\n]*" Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
