Well, how about just wrapping mutt in a script? So instead of 'mutt
<addr>' you would have 'elinks-mutt <addr>'. Elinks-mutt would look
something like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
adr="$(echo $1|perl -pe 's/%(\d\d)/sprintf "%c", hex $1/eg')"
exec mutt "$adr"
Note that only one address is handled, adding more is left as an
exercise to the reader.
also note that mutt takes '-s <subject>' as argument, so something
like:
if [ -n "$2" ]; then
sub="-s \"$(echo $2|perl -pe 's/%(\d\d)/sprintf "%c", hex $1/eg; s/\"//')\""
fi
exec mutt $sub "$adr"
should handle optional subject as second argument. I hope this helps
you get started, but please make sure what you end up with works (try
from the commandline), I've not actually tested this.
