Do Not Call

[Steve Holmes]

Yea, when I saw that note, my radar went up fearing the site would be
laced with javascript or some such but I dove on in and found the rest
of it to be a breeze.

That's probably the only thing I like less about mutt is the way URL's
are dealt with.  You have to use that external thingy and you can't
just highlite the URL directly and hit the enter key like in Pine.
You use URLbiew and you end up with a list of all URL's pulled from
the message; you lose all context around each of the URL's so it is
easy to get confused about which URL one should really be on to
select.  With the do not call site, the URL was easy to find but
URLview some how truncated the long URL when trying to activate it.
Anyhow, Speakup's cut/paste feature saved the day for me.
