Downloading an url from pine.

[Janina Sajka]

You can 'e' to export your message to a file. You would then need to edit 
that file to turn the http address into an ahcored hypertext reference, 
i.e. enclose it in <a href="[put it here]">[put whatever you want to call 
it here]</a>

Of course, you could also just use Speakup's clipboard and copy it 
anywhere. This is what I do. I keep a handy little directory of .ram and 
.html files that I can pass to trplayer as arguments.
