It enabled, will show "+" sign at beginning of each wrapped line (using

Yeah, I've just checked it, long urls in vim (using ":set wrap") clicked
correctly in both konsole and urxvt.
I've compared `ldd` output for vim and mutt, and looks like vim uses
libncurses.so.5 while mutt uses libncursesw.so.5 - not sure is this
important, but, anyway, if vim works ok, then this issue is surely mutt's
bug which can and should be fixed.

Looks like mark-urls was removed and replaced by matcher in current urxvt
version. Anyway, both doesn't support urls wrapped in several lines.
Chip Camden already mention this in previous email, but I've just tested
both and confirm this. Probably matcher can be modified (as Chip Camden
suggest) to support wrapped lines, but right now it doesn't work in this way.
