I've just folowed-up your msg to me, in order to see it through mutt,
then through urlview, and it's working perfectly.
Just one thing, I remember having upgraded this urlview script recently.
Do you me to send you my new version ?

to lynx it works fine but if I set to netscape i.e uncomment the second
last lineit tells me
ERROR: Your COMMAND contains a single
quote (') character. This is most likely
in error; please read the manual page
for details. If you really want to use
this command, please put the word EXPERT
into a line of its own in your
~/.urlview file.
where as I dont see any hanging single quotes on teh other hand if I replace teh
single quotes with double quotes it tries to open
http://'http://www10.edatoolscafe.com/nbc/articles/view_article.php?section=CorpNews&articleid=16691'
note the dual http's
If I insert the word EXPERT I am left with my original problem

use shell script from urlview tarball (url_handler.sh) or make simple
shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
netscape -remote "openURL($1)"
and change your .urlview like this:
COMMAND url_handler.sh %s
or if you have gnome you can use this:
COMMAND gnome-moz-remote %s

i came across the same problem the other day. it seems to be a problem
with bash, not so much with urlview. i solved it in the following
way. my ~/.urlview looks like this:
----------
REGEXP (((https?|ftp|gopher)://|(mailto|file|news):)[^' \
<>"]+|(www|web|w3).[-a-z0-9.]+)[^' .,;<>":]
COMMAND /home/joost/bin/urlhandler.sh %s
----------
the REGEXP expression should be on one line, but slrn wants me to wrap
it. (remove the backslash.) note that it's the REGEXP that urlview
provides. i did not modidy it.
the script urlhandler.sh that urlview calls is not the one that is
supplied with urlview, but one i made myself:
----------
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/opera -remote "openURL($@, new-window)"
----------
this one's for opera, ns and other browsers can be called in the same
way.
