Thanks for your advice. With Mutt 1.8.0 it now does the same as Neomutt.  It
brings up the menu. That is great as I can stop using Neomutt.  Then it makes
no difference. Typing m brings up the menu.  If I then type 3 for Firefox it
opens Firefox if closed or another tab if open and shows html.  If I type 4
for Google it opens Google if closed or another tab if open and shows the raw
html. I will play around trying to open Google Chrome from the command line.
