I read email with mutt in an xterm. Here's my current my current,
deprecated, setup with Urlview. It's a two-step process...
1) In "~/.mutt/muttrc" in the "Macros" section, as one long line, tell
mutt to feed the message through "urlview" when you hit uppercase U,
either {SHIFT}{U} or "u" with {CAPSLOCK} enabled.
macro pager U ":set pipe_decode\n|urlview\n:unset pipe_decode\n" "extract URLs
out of a message"
2) In "~/.urlview" two lines tell Urlview what regexp to match as a URL
and what to do when the user selects a URL. I don't know if the
"width/height" parameters are honoured any more in Pale Moon
REGEXP (((https?|ftp)|mailto):(//)?[^ >"\t]*|www\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t>">\):]
COMMAND palemoon -width 950 -height 1050 -P email %s &
My workflow is...
* I'm reading an email, and I come across a URL I want to look at.
* I hit {SHIFT}{U} and a list of URLS from that email pops up at the top.
See the attached PNG image. I'm using a "what's coming soon" email
from Netflix as an example.
* Use the UP and DOWN keys on the keyboard to select the URL you're
interested in, i.e the arrow at the left of the image.
* Hit {ENTER} and the selected URL shows up at the bottom of my xterm.
I can edit the URL if it want to. Hitting {ENTER} again launches the
command (i.e. Pale Moon with the the email profile), or {CTRL}{C}
backs out.
