I think we should essentially leave it as is, and certainly not go down
the road of looking for ".com", etc. Most of my mail ends in ".au"!

I think so.

I noted the mail where you said this was fixed.

I have checked it out fairly well and it seems OK. The version you got off
my page says that it does not handle mail URLs without the mailto, e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It does handle this with the changes I have made earlier to
my .urlview. I will update everything on my web page.
I will add as attachments, the full url_handler.sh I finished up with
today and a patch which I think works off the original url_handler (or
rather what I know works off what I think is the original url_handler!).
urlview was written by Michael Elkins. Are you suggesting I ask him to
add the change I made to the URL display to warn about adding or removing
a "/" in ftp URLSs?
I would like to see urlview and url_handler in the contrib directory
of mutt. What do the developers think?
Cheers, Brian.
