I've made a post on this issue, also asking for help. I've done some
research on my Sarge machine. Previously, the feature was working
under Woody, and Potato, but those installations no longer exist.
1) xterm does not have this feature.
2) Both Gnome terminal and Multi-Gnome terminal had the feature in
Woody.
3) Multi-Gnome terminal seems to have a modified version of the
feature, but there appears to be a bad interaction with some new
featurs in Sarge, and it doesn't work. Or, maybe there is a bug that
kills all these features. And, I can't find/install Gnome docs to
study problem.
4) Gnome terminal has the feature in Sarge, but it invokes lynx as the
browser. And, again, I can't access the Gnome User Docs to make it
work with a more GUI browser.
All Sarge results are with the same install of mutt. The functionality
is definitely in the GUI, not in mutt. Now is not a good time to be
debugging such issues. I hope times are better soon.
