I missed this first time round - the answer I use (on a solidly
potato system) is urlview (from the package of the same name) to
launch a browser out of mutt - there's even a control-b macro ready
and waiting for it. Then the browser I have urlview configured to
use is w3m, which may be a humble non-graphical browser, but it can
in turn be configured to hand URLs over to other browsers - the
three I have it use are <tab>=netscape, 2<tab>=mozilla, and
3<tab>="xterm -e w3m &".
