Woops!  There's a flaw in that command that became apparent when I received
a URL containing the letter n!  :D  Apparently in mutt "\n" is a newline,
but '\n' is an n.  Here's the command again, with proper quoting:

color body brightblue default \
  "(https?|ftp|gopher|finger)://([^"'"'"' \t\r\n)>.,!?&]|[.,!?][^"'"'"' 
\t\r\n)>.,!?&]|&([^g]|$)|&g([^t]|$)|&gt([^;]|$))+"
