urlview for DEBIAN ------------------ The urlview package was created with some slight modifications on the upstream sources. The most important is that Debian's urlview will read a system-wide configuration file. This allows the system administrator to set a unified way to handle embedded URLs. From release 0.7-4 url_handler.sh was substituted with a version developed by Martin Schulze . It's a shell script that will try to use any of the mentioned programs. There is a configuration section at the top of the file after the license statement. For each type of tag we have (http|mailto|...)_prgs="/path/to/program1:TAG1 /path/to/program2:TAG2 ..." The script will try to execute the first of those found. The TAG is interpreted to check how this program is to executed. There are four valid TAGs: XW: X program ($DISPLAY must be set), detached PW: likewise, but protect with nohup(1) – will persist after the calling tty closes VT: just execute program in the current context XT: if under X and $XTERM is executable, run in a new detached $XTERM window; otherwise, like VT XTERM holds the name of the terminal program used. This can be changed to any program of your liking, but defaults to /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator. Note that urlview has some problems handling mime-encoded input. In order to avoid these problems is possible to set the pipe_decode variable in mutt.
