    I've made a post on this issue, also asking for help. I've done some
    research on my Sarge machine. Previously, the feature was working
    under Woody, and Potato, but those installations no longer exist.

    1) xterm does not have this feature.

    2) Both Gnome terminal and Multi-Gnome terminal had the feature in
    Woody.

    3) Multi-Gnome terminal seems to have a modified version of the
    feature, but there appears to be a bad interaction with some new
    featurs in Sarge, and it doesn't work. Or, maybe there is a bug that
    kills all these features. And, I can't find/install Gnome docs to
    study problem.

    4) Gnome terminal has the feature in Sarge, but it invokes lynx as the
    browser. And, again, I can't access the Gnome User Docs to make it
    work with a more GUI browser.

    All Sarge results are with the same install of mutt. The functionality
    is definitely in the GUI, not in mutt. Now is not a good time to be
    debugging such issues. I hope times are better soon.
