Can mutt be configured to do that? If so, how? There is a program called urlview that you can get on the mutt ftp site in the contrib subdirectory (something like mutt/contrib or pub/contrib) that you can, via a configuration file, customize to launch lynx (or links, or elinks, or whatever). It actually displays all URLs in a menu similar to the messages menu or the attachment menu when you press control-b. So at least I've anaswered one of your questions.
