And groovy for them. Many terminals do not. Even for those terminals 
that do, however, there are benefits to using a script like this. For  
example, sometimes URLs are line-wrapped (e.g. using format=flowed and 
delsp=yes headers), and need to be glued back together. That was 
actually the original reason that I created the script; because 
urlview doesn't handle those emails.
