Could I see that portion of your muttrc?  I've been copying/pasting the
urls to a browser window, but opening in elinks with a keybinding would
be convenient.  Especially if I could do it in another tab of the
terminal (using roxterm).  if i click on them, they open in Epiphany,
and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why, when iceweasel is set
as my default browser.

sorry, I'm not helping much, am I?  But, I'm curious how to get that
going with elinks.  I'm kind of new at using mutt.

thanks
tony
