I am running the 64-bit amd64 Debian Sarge mutt and urlview and everything is working fine for me. > Has anyone come across and solved this problem, or does anyone have any > ideas on how to tackle it? The urlview command reads ~/.urlview or /etc/urlview/system.urlview on startup. Do you have anything interesting in those file? The urlview command by default launches url_handler.sh to launch the action on the url. You can test this by launching it yourself. url_handler.sh http://www.mutt.org Does that launch your browser action? If not then try debugging that script. sh -x url_handler.sh http://www.mutt.org I provide my own url_handler.sh for some custom operation on my part. You could override it in your ~/.urlview configuration so that you could launch a debug script instead. That would tell you if urlview it calling the external launcher properly or if it is the launcher having trouble. My guess is that your url_handler is not launching the browser in a way that is working for you. Bob
