urlview and weirdo characters



Forgive, please, this modestly off-topic question:

Periodically, I get emails that include embedded URLs that render fine
in Mutt's internal pager, but that render improperly when urlview
extracts them for launch.

In particular, it seems that the '.' character in these URLs gets
turned into '=2E'.

Since Mutt is handling these dots gracefully, I wonder what's going on.

urlview lets one change the REGEXP that matches the URLs, but I lack
the REGEXP facility to know whether the REGEXP can also do inline
substitution of these gnarly characters.  And it doesn't seem to have
any capacity to finetune the charset.

Suggestions?
