I would point out that this is the same problem as discussed in this
thread:

   detect from mailcap whether called for view or reply

   http://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-users@xxxxxxxx/msg37313.html

Various workarounds are discussed there.

Essentially, it may well be nice to have html2text present URLs in
underscored form to get mutt to nicely highlight them for you.

The issue is that mutt runs the same display filter to present text to
its ANSI-aware screen display and to format text for inclusion in
message replies.

It would be nice to be able to distiniguish these two, maybe with a
"reply_format" which defaults to the value of "display_format".
