Urlview handles long and short links just fine. I've been using it for over 10 years.

Yes, it does. I think Chris' and José's points were more about requiring an external tool to provide functionality which has become so core to everyday email use that mutt could learn to do it.

Urlview also obstructs your view to context when using it. I've opened it a million times only to find myself staring at a list of tracking URLs that all look the same, now knowing which one appeared in the paragraph I was just reading. Mutt could do a much better job, with a UI/UX similar to what rxvt-unicode offers (but cannot due to ncurses…), i.e.:

1. enter URL selection mode;
2. use arrow keys to select the URL you want, while the message is being shown;
3. press enter to fire up mailcap handler.
