Thanks!

I had a different problem, where mutt breaks URLs across lines with +'s, and it stops them being clickable from a terminal session.

But finding out about urlview was enough to produce a solution.

For anyone else in a similar situation, I made a shell script ~/bin/url_handler.sh

```
/usr/bin/env bash
echo -e "\n\n$1\n\n"
read -r -n 1
```

and in ~/.urlview

```
COMMAND ~/bin/url_handler.sh
```

Now I get the URL wrapped normally, and it waits for a keypress before resuming. Brilliant.

Or, alternately, tell mutt not to add those "+" characters by unsetting
the "markers" config variable:

3.125. markers

Type: boolean
Default: yes

Controls the display of wrapped lines in the internal pager. If set, a
"+" marker is displayed at the beginning of wrapped lines.

Also see the $smart_wrap variable.

But this doesn't fix the inability to click on long URLs, mutt still
breaks them into separate lines.

No, it's only in mutt that long lines are split rather than wrapped.
It's the mutt internal pager that splits the lines, all other programs
using the same terminal emulator (xfce4-terminal) don't split long
wrapped lines.

....and some terminal emulators treat a split line as a separate thing,
and some don't care.

(Personally I don't care because my preferred terminal emulator,
urxvt, doesn't get to launch a web browser.)
