rxvt-unicode also has an extension ("matcher") that allows you to 
select and open URLs using the keyboard only.

However, when URLs wrap across lines, things often break, and 
especially when you have the sidebar shown, then your terminal 
emulator has no way to make sense of the URL anymore. Mutt, however, 
does know about message contents, and can interpret line breaks much 
better.
