urlview is a screen oriented program for extracting URLs from text files and displaying a menu from which you may launch a command to view a specific item.
urlview uses a regular expression to extract URLs from the specified text files.
Urlview is to be used with Mutt to extract urls from a mail and launch a browser to view it.
$ sudo portinstall portinstall textproc/urlview
The default browser is lynx which may not be useful for all URLs. The below config override opens a new tab with the Opera browser (Linux version on FreeBSD). ^b opens the URL in Mutt.
