Thanks, yes that's what I mean by piping the body into another tool. Both urlscan and the older urlview are probably fine if mutt is running on your local system, in my case it's running on a remote system and I just want to be able to copy the URLs from my terminal without anything fancy trying to interpret or truncate/abbreviate them, react to my pointer, et cetera. Setting a macro to pipe the body through less or vi(ew) has been working well enough for my needs, but some quick testing indicates that if I override markers to no in my muttrc to get rid of the "+" at the start of wrapped lines, that basically solves the long URL copying problem, albeit at the expense of no longer knowing whether mutt wrapped a line for me (not a huge loss, in my opinion). -- Jeremy Stanley
